VetFest 2021
By Lowen Pengoose ©️26 Feb 2021
This festival known as ‘VetFest’
First held in twenty nineteen
Was the first of its kind in the country
The like of it, never before seen
Held for the local community
As thanks for all that they do
Organised by Military veterans
Who defended the red, white and blue
Armed forces are known for their planning,
Logistics, transport, and supply
There was bound to be some good food and beer
And they even ensured a blue sky
There was song and dance aplenty
People arrived from far and near
It was soon decided, this most successful event
Should grow bigger the following year
Don’t stop, your thinking ‘bout tomorrow
As Fleetwood Mac did say
COVID 19 is a pain in the neck
But there will be a brighter day
Our bands will play for freedom
Our bands would play for free
There are bands that cannot play for you
Because of Covid-19
But you have no need to worry,
You have no need to cry
We have your back, that’s what we do
No need to reason why
We all played our part in the longest of years
Wore masks and all washed our hands
Two metre distance was the norm
These were now laws of the land
Shout out to all the key workers
You surely have played your parts
For keeping us going through thick and thin
We thank you with all our hearts
Revealing the roadmap piece by piece
Our future was looking bright
The planning resumed amid happy smiles
As VetFest, slid back into sight
A ‘Lite’ version of the one before
More like ‘VetFestival in a day’
But welcome relief after more than a year
To meet friends, laugh, dance and play
Thank you from the Veterans of Par
To our local community friends
We were all in it at the beginning
We’ll be together when it ends
Dig out your glad rags and dancing shoes
Practise your shanties and jigs
VetFest is the place to be this year
With your grandma and all of your kids
Come one and all, you are very welcome
Sing and dance and watch the bands play
Perhaps then we can ALL be Heroes
On this wonderful ‘VetFestival’ day
Armed Forces are used to fighting wars
But this enemy we could not see
The NHS fought so valiantly
VetFest welcomes you all for free
After a weird 2020 and the anticipation of whether we would be able to hold Vet Fest 2021 the wait is over.
After much deliberation we have secured a new venue for the event.
Vet Fest 2021 will be held at the Ship Inn Polmear. we are in the process of securing Bands and entertainment to bring you the best day of 2021.
The ship Inn will have limited camping space this year and we will be update local B&B's Apartments and Camping and caravan sites.
The line up will be announced as soon as we are able.
Tickets will be available on the gate
Any money raised at Vet Fest 2021 will be split between The Royal British Legion and The Normandy Trust on behalf of Harry Billinge OBE
