Carters Steam Fair

We really enjoyed the Steam fair on Hartham over the weekend - it was a nice old fashioned atmosphere with plenty of family fun when I was there (sat afternoon). It cost me a fortune though with two small children and each ride at least £1. I also had to pay for an adult's ticket for some rides just to make sure that the small one didn't try to get off. That all adds to the cost. Still, they enjoyed it. The only disappointment was that the fireworks weren't on until 10.15pm - much too late for my kids. The Mediaeval Night fireworks were also too late so they have yet to see a firework display in Hertford! Having them so late would be guaranteed to catch the drinking element, I would have thought.

I went on Sunday and everybody seemed to be enjoying themselves. No doubt the excellent weather helped. I didn't see the fireworks but I certainly heard them. The sky projector was pretty impressive too! Pictures at http://www.hertford.net/pictures/steam_fair.asp

I went along on Sunday and got my fortune read out of a machine once again. I found my fortune card from last years fair the other day, and it was frighteningly accurate. Its nice to see that pictures and reports are reaching the site so quickly now.
