Lutterworth Carnival took place this year on Saturday 15 August
2009 on the Coventry Road Recreation Ground. The event commenced
with the procession starting from Coates Yard at Lady Wood Works.
There were ten floats sporting various designs to tie in, with the,
musicals theme, including Grease and Fame. There was also a fire
engine, classic cars walkers in Mary Poppins costume and of course
the Melton Toy Soldiers, who were once again a popular addition.
Luckily the weather was glorious, and the people came out in force
to enjoy the many activities.
The Piranha Brothers (a local live band) opened the Carnival and
were followed by the many arena activities, which included: Birds
of Prey display by Ben’s Birds of Prey, baton twirling by
the Lutterworth Jets as well as street dance performances by Future
Faces. We were also lucky enough to have our King, Queen and Flower
Girls for the day who all looked wonderful and did a wonderful job
on the day even though they had to be up bright and early to have
their hair done at Jazz then nails at Becky’s Beauty Box!
I hope they enjoy their year, and we will be seeing them again at
Christmas Lights. The stall holders too had a good day with 78 stalls
this year, providing plenty of variety and lots to buy. We also
had Pony rides and a Gyroscope for those that were brave enough.
The Carnival itself was a wonderful day and a great end to a very
busy week and it also meant that the following competition winners
could collect their prizes and well deserved congratulations.
