Noahs Ark
Hi Folks, we’ve all heard the story of Noah’s Ark and we are all so pleased that some of the animals he saved evolved into the waggly-tail, loyal, chew-woofers and the purring mushy-tats on our laps; but some wild animals were hurt during the rescue, physically and mentally, so who saved them?
Now in the twenty first century there is a man who does just that: - Serrafin. He has a refuge in Benimantell (very near Guadalest) where he nurses, cares and saves the lives of many wild animals (like the crocodile with no teeth, the giraffe with a broken neck, and the bunny with no ears).
He is a person I have admired for many years, have visited and made a donation, so when I read in the English and Spanish newspapers that a new law had been made, prohibiting him from showing his animals to the public for an entry fee, he is now so short of cash (like all of us) that he has to budget to feed them. So I went to see the mayor of Benimarfull (4kms from Muro towards Pago) and between us, came up with the idea to hold a rastro/boot sale/fun day in Benimarfull on Friday September 26th, 11am – 3pm.
So, come on you lot, come on up to Benimarfull on that day, call into Muro market in the morning for your fruit and veg, then take the Planes/Page road to Benimarfull and have a look at the stalls. Participate at throwing wet sponges at the man in the stocks, put your baby into the “Most Beautiful Baby” comp., judged by a local dignitary, wear a funny hat for the comp, have your children’s paintings seen and judged by a well known artist, enter the best cake competition, have your face painted, have a game of Bingo, be entertained by local talent, buy a raffle ticket which will be drawn by the Mayor, have a bootiful bacon butty, cooked by Annie and maybe have your hair stylishly cut by talented Lynn.
There will be something for everyone on the fun day, but I need plenty of stalls (no traders) so come on ladies, get that box of bitsa out of the wardrobe, bring along Gran’s old chair and sell at the boot sale.
Ring me for details 686569663 (leave message if no answer).
At the end of the day we can watch the Mayor present the cash we’ve raised to Serrafin (Mr Noah) who will then take it to Benimantell, for food for the many wild animals he lovingly keeps in his ark and they in turn, will give him a lick to say thank you so much for saving us.
He will also be the bearer of prizes for the comps, but it’s a secret what they are until Friday the 26th at 11am
C U There!!
