Hi there

This was our first time to the festival and we've never seen anything like this before.

We have one or two Morris style teams back home but nothing like what we saw on Saturday.

We came over from New York to see relatives for Christmas and New Year. We were told about Straw Bear and thought it would be like the Wicker Man. How wrong we were.

We had an amazing day and had our photo taken with the Straw Bear which we'll take back a tell all our friends about in the US.

We are going out to sample some Plough Monday dancing tonight and then we're flying home on Saturday.

Thank you Whittlesey and to Mr Straw Bear and the Baby Straw Bears.

We hope to come again.

Thank you for a wonderful time

Your new friends
The Richardson Family
