The Dragon Festival


This weekend we attended the dragon festival. The children had a fab time. There was a reenactment of the taking of Newcastle Emlyn castle by the welsh from the english. There were crafts and story telling and plays. They had a giant dragon's egg that hatched. The festival was put on to encourage tourism in Newcastle Emlyn. They had over 1,500 people attend on the Saturday so perhaps it will be a yearly thing. Our kids had their faces painted like dragons and there were different stalls where they could make masks and tabards for the parade. Our younger children were all in a chinese dragon shown above and really enjoyed the whole day. As for me, I was a wreck from trying to keep an eye on 10 kids (Caitlin was at a beach party) all I did all day was look for one child after another as they wandered off to look at all the attractions, I'm glad they had a great day and I am even more glad we all made it home safe and sound :)
