Youngsters, with the help of teachers and parents, will be collecting lots of foodstuffs which will then be donated to worthy causes or individuals.
So how about a trip back through the years to look at festival scenes in times gone by? There are lots for you to enjoy and we hope they will bring back lots of great memories. So please get in touch with your memories of collecting and distributing your harvests.
