QUEEN
ERIN SENDS HER CHRISTMAS
MESSAGE |
|
|
|
Dear Friends
of Bo'ness,
As this
year's Fair Queen, I would
like to take this
opportunity to wish you all
a very Merry Christmas. I am
now halfway through my
reign, and thus far, 2011
has been a fantastic year
for me and it still remains
a tremendous honour to have
been chosen as this
marvellous town's Queen.
There are
obviously a great many
people I owe a huge debt of
appreciation to,
particularly my parents,
family and close friends.
Thank you
also to Chairman, Mr. Jim
Stewart and the Fair
Committee for all their help
leading up to the Fair day
and on the wonderful day
itself.
A special big
thank you to everyone at the
Grange School, not
forgetting all the other
primary schools who
participated in my special
day; to all the teachers,
helpers, and proud parents,
who year after year work so
hard behind the scenes. To
family and friends for their
incredible effort involved
in producing the many
wonderful arches and house
frontages, without them our
Fair wouldn't be the unique
and innovative spectacle it
has been these past 103
years.
The Fair is a
heart warming reminder to us
all, of the long summer
evenings and the enviable
community spirit on these
cold wintery nights. I hope
that everyone is excited in
the lead up to Christmas, as
the children of Bo'ness are
during the week before the
Fair.
So on that
note, I would like to wish
the lovely people of Bo'ness
and their many absent
friends a Merry Christmas
and a Wonderful New Year.
Peace &
Goodwill
Queen Erin |

BO'NESS CHILDREN'S FAIR
FESTIVAL |
|
The biggest day of the year
here in Bo'ness has come and
gone with one of the
greatest reliefs after the
weather we have had all
week. A spot was felt just
before the crowning as a
dark cloud went overhead but
10 minutes later you could
feel the heat as the sun
came out just before Erin
was crowned.
The crowning went of great
with the retinue and
presentees in immaculate
colours not forgetting the
fairies and flower girls
outfits which were bright
and sparkled in
the sun.
A Nervous Frank McGarry and
Marion McKay will be glad to
have got through their new
roll having some task to
fill the shoes of the
retired Douglas Snedden who
watched on from the guests
stand.
If you wish to send any your
pictures to the website
either arches or from today
were will welcome them all,
but on some occasions we
cannot upload them all.
