103
entries prepare for Monday's 2006 Burnham-On-Sea Carnival
The
highest number of entries for almost 15 years will take part in
Monday's 2006 Burnham-On-Sea Carnival.
A
total of 103 entries are ready to take part in the annual procession,
which gets underway at 7.30pm from Love Lane before wending its
way through the town to Marine Drive.
 "We
have a lot of masqueraders - or walkers - taking part this year,
along with an excellent line-up of carnival floats from across
the county," Carnival Secretary Doreen Atyo told Burnham-On-Sea.com.
"It's the largest number of entries I remember for at least
13 years."
"Highbridge
Young Farmers, Hillview Carnival Club and a Highbridge dance club
are among the local entries. If the weather holds and people dig
into their pockets to give generously, it should be a great night."
Each
carnival club will be doing its best not only to entertain but
to impress the 60 judges and win one of the 40 prizes up for grabs.
There
will also be 80 charity collectors weaving beside the parade,
urging the crowds to dig deep in order to try and beat the £6,400
raised last year.
