\"Carnival Verwood carnival saw the first outing of our new gazebo and banner, courtesy of the Wimborne & Ferndown Lions and Verwood Rotary Club, as well as our Forget-me-not sign, crocheted sign made by the Verwood crochet group. We felt pretty chuffed as you can see from our photos!<\/p>\n

It might seem strange to have a stall about dementia at an event like the carnival. Our aims were two-fold:<\/p>\n

\u2022 First to raise awareness about the Verwood and Three Legged Cross Dementia Friendly Community Association and our role in supporting people with dementia and their carers living in our community.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Second to provide information to anyone interested, as well as advertise our launch event on June 14th, 1.30pm at Crane Valley Golf Club.<\/p>\n

To entice people to visit our stall, we had a \u2018Guess the name of the bunny\u2019 competition: in case you entered, the winning name was Flopsy. We also had a \u2018Guess the number of sweets in the jar\u2019 competition and the winning number was 150. There were actually 154 sweets in the jar!<\/p>\n

However our most popular activity was \u2018Splat the rat\u2019! The weather was lovely and we had some great conversations with visitors to our stall. We even managed to cover our costs with a tiny profit which was an unexpected surprise!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
