Deputy Mayor Diaries: Reading Water Fest

Well after last nights storms it was a relief to see Reading in one piece!

A few rain showers didn't stop people enjoying the Water Fest though.  We were taken to the Water Fest in a lovely little steam boat. 

We got to see the all the stalls, a brilliant Aslan made for The Abbey School and we then judged the best dressed boat competition.  I was particularly impressed by the Dragon Boat team.  Wow - could they shift!

In amongst the music and entertainment were some lovely works of art and I am very privileged to be attending the  Reading Arts & Music Week opening event next Friday.

Events like this prove what an exciting and vibrant town Reading is.
