Best of Bedminster Show 2011

 

The Best of Bedminster Show is happening on Saturday 1st October. As usual the BOB Show will be on North Street Green celebrating the best bits of North Street, Bedminster and Bristol. We hope you can help by entering our Best in Show Competitions; Bob says “…it’s not about winning it’s about taking part and Keeping it Local, - of course if you win, you will get a prize”. As well as eco and community side shows plus stalls, there is a Traders Tent where local businesses and North Street Traders are offering free samples and special money off vouchers. “You’d be a fool to miss it”.

 

If you’re feeling culinary or green fingered - Then be prepared for this years Best in Show categories; Best Cake, Best jar of Chutney, Best jar of Jam, Best miniature Garden, Best Photograph of Bedminster (child / adult), Best home grown Pumpkin, Scariest Fruit and Vegetable Monster and Best display of seasonal produce. If you wish to enter the BOB Competition, entry forms with a full listing of categories are available from www.bestofbedminster.org.uk or the Southville Centre Reception and from participating North Street shops, cafes, and bars.
