The Lavendon Show on 12th September 2015

Children’s Entries for the 2014 Lavendon Show

The Lavendon Show will be held on Saturday, 12th September 2015. That means if you haven’t already done so then it is still not too late to think about planting those seeds, vegetables and flowers to enter into the Show and stand a good chance of winning a prize or may be even a trophy. There are lots of different classes in the Show catering for all kinds of skills whether growing, painting, drawing or making things, ranging from cakes and jams through to Lego monsters or perhaps a great arrangement of flowers. There are plenty of entries available for adults and children alike – why not think about making a Scarecrow this year?!
