Actually, I struggled as I thought 'fetes, what fetes?' then thought of school fates, with next to no recollection except cake and tombola. Then I vaguely thought of church fetes but I don't usually go to them.
Then, to my embarassment, I realised that I used to be on a committee that organised a community event each year (I was only on it for a few years) but we didn't call it a 'fete' because other things happened as well. (I don't want to be specific.)
But a large part of it involved a park where there were lots of stalls and also some activities. I picture that part of it it as a cross between a fete and a funfair without large rides.
My main role was liaising between groups and fundraising. I didn't get involved in the 'what will we do and who will do it' stuff.
I picture myself going to the park and not being interested in the stalls - I went to meet the people, the community, the people I saw around me but didn't always get to chat with.
But that's not a stall. Hang on...got it - I liked the not-a-stall best!

I assure you I didn't nick it :f_winkeye:
These summer fetes tend to be held in the early-to-mid-afternoon - not my best time, generally having snoozage then :f_doh:
Sunny Clouds:
No use us trying to meet up anywhere then. Early to mid afternoon is usually my peak time.
