In perfect summer weather, Sandown was treated to a day-long feast of family entertainment last weekend (Saturday). From the children’s carnival in the morning to the main carnival parade in the evening, thousands flocked to the town to enjoy the fun. Sandown Carnival chair Paul Coueslant has said:
“We’re pleased our visitors and residents had a day to remember. “Now we move on to Sandown Bay Regatta the weekend after next when we hope the sun stays shining.”
Thanking the organisational team behind the event, Paul said:
“As probably the longest-serving community group in town, we‘re run entirely by volunteers who’re proud to carry on the tradition of providing free events each year, and we’re forever grateful to the public for their donations which help us cover our costs”.
