Elisabeth Svendsen Trust (EST) Donkey Fair, Manchester 2009

This was a very different event from the usual ones I attend, animals were the centre of attention. The Elisabeth Svendsen Trust for Children and Donkeys in Manchester needs funds and while the event was about raising money, it was also about having lots of fun. In fact I enjoyed it so much I forgot about why I was there, missed most things because I was either with the donkeys or the ferrets. The weather tried to play it's part and spoil the party, but with so much going on that was impossible. It was a well attended event and well organized, the staff obviously had worked very hard putting on such a good show. There was so much going on in such a small space that I can only list what I able to see, sorry if anyone got missed. I did miss the Lord Mayor of Manchester opening the event, I was in with Barn Owl Bill somewhere else at the time, time just passed me by.

All I can say is if you missed it this time, make sure you visit the website for next years event, you won't be dissapointed if you love animals.
