Dafen Forum held its 10th Christmas Fair last Friday, with yet another fantastic fireworks display by award winning pyrotechnists Pendragon, a snow machine, and a visit from Disney Frozen's Elsa and Olaf; as well as Beauty and the Beast and comic book heroes Captain America and Batman.
By the time the performers, families and dignitaries reached the entertainment marquee, the weather had begun to clear and a full moon beamed down upon the Park. The primary school choirs from Dafen C.P., Halfway C.P., and St. Mary's R.C., were outstanding as usual, and made the village proud.
At the end of the performances, Captain America turned a snow machine upon the excited children and the crowd. Afterwards the costume characters made the children balloon-models, and posed for photographs.
At this year's School Arts and Crafts Competition, the winners, judged by photographer Joyce Mollet A.R.P.S., were:
Reception class to age 6 :– 1st. Charlie Williams (St. Mary's); 2nd. Oliver Ryan (Halfway); 3rd. Ava Ellerton (St Mary's). Years 4 – 6: 1st. Ancara Drew (Halfway); 2nd. Ella Kavanagh (St. Mary's); 3rd. Shakira May (Dafen). Comprehensive: 1st. Coral Thomas; 2nd. Daria Baranska; 3rd Abbie Harries (all St. John Lloyd). Each received a trophy for their winning entries. The winners and runners up also received individual letters from Nia Griffith MP congratulating them on their work, and the pictures will be put up on display in Llanelly House until Christmas. Congratulations to the winners, and to all the school children who entered for another fantastic effort.
Finally, the weather was perfect for our annual fireworks display, which was as spectacular as ever.
