UP HOLLAND PAGEANT AND FESTIVAL - SATURDAY 20th JUNE
The 2009 event of the year has now been and gone, and was another truly fantastic event. The weather just about kept fine (unless you were one of those erecting stalls at 8.30am!). A gallery of photos has just been added - click here to have a look.
if you have any great photos of any part of the day that you think worthy of going in our planned gallery, please e-mail them to our webmaster by clicking here.

A BIG thank you to the many people who gave up their time, effort, gifts and skills to make the day such a wonderful experience. There were many from all of Up Holland's churches, schools and organisations...too many to list but all sincerely thanked.
