It is an idea we had been talking about for a while as Anna and I along with other ynyslas residents always felt that the Borth Carnival was really aimed at the tourists and wasn&#8217;t for the residents of Ynyslas and that we would like to have a &#8216;show&#8217; in much the same way as other rural villages do.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, as this was the first Ynyslas Fun Day we kept it as a rather low-key event with just a few simple competitions. No giant marrows or perfect runner beans for us. I&#8217;ve always liked the sillier categories in country shows so suggested an &#8216;Animal Made from vegetables&#8217; category. As it was mys suggestion I thought I had better enter it so created a Giraffe from a potato and a carrot&#8230; When I turned up with it and saw everyone elses entries my giraffe suddenly looked a little silly. Everyone else had put in loads of effort and some of the entries were really good (as usual I forgot to take photos of them though). My personal favourites were the snails and the crab. Thankfully Sarah turned up with a pig made from a potato which which meant that my giraffe didn&#8217;t look completely outclassed.<\/p>\n<p>Strangely though everyone seemed to like my giraffe and I took the prize for the best animal made from vegetables&#8230;. Amazing, I wonder if the votes were in pity for the poor little creature.<\/p>\n<p>Other categories that were hotly contested in the show were the flower arrangement, the crafts and the artwork of a local scene. There was also a treasure hunt that kept Anna and I busy organising it last week and everyone else busy doing yesterday morning, and a sand-castle building competition on the beach. All interspersed with a &#8216;picnic&#8217; lunch and a BBQ in the evening.<\/p>\n<p>We had fun and I think everyone else did too.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/p1010595.jpg\" alt=\"Giraffe made from Vegetables\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We had the first ever Ynyslas Fun Day yesterday here.
