Carnival week - the Street Party & Duck Race
Thursday 15th July 2010, 5:30pm to 10:30pm
Location: The Parade
The Street Party will feature in The Parade from the junction of Monmouth Square to the Globe corner and onto the Medieval Bridge, with some activity both on the banks of the river and indeed in the river. Activities commence at 5.30pm with the Grande Finale of the Lostwithiel's Got Talent competition.
Throughout the evening the talented Funky Faces will be painting the youngsters with all sorts of amazing designs. A new entertainer, Bamboozle, will astound you with his balloon artistry, whilst the energetic can try out their balancing skills on the surfboard simulator.
Culture is the name of the game, and it is the Lostwithiel Tanoshii Taiko Drummers that start off the entertainment which includes Acting Up, the exciting young group from the Lostwithiel Players, Lost In Song, the forever growing group of ladies, the Trigg Morris Men, escaping their curfew once again, and from 9.00pm the live band.
Charity stalls will be on display in The Parade, and for those in need of sustenance there will be an outside bar run by The Globe selling wine, beer and soft drinks, a hog roast run by the Rotary Club and Barbecue by the Community Centre.
The famous Duck Race is scheduled for about 7.30pm and there will be an incoming tide, however, Rotary's maritime consultant assures us that the ducks will still go down stream, if not have cameras ready to see a maritime consultant joining the ducks!
