NO, NO, NO!!! Not the dreaded misplaced apostrophe at a SCHOOL fete, for heaven’s sake! One is mortified.

I just wonder what a “fete” is. As each new photo appears, the question remains the same. Google be damned.

I explained a bit with the first fete photo. It’s a fundraiser for the school.

Marky, it’s a lot like a trade school carnival. Outdoor fun and games, like Whack-A-Rat, Hook-A-Duck, and coconut shies, and cake stalls, tombolas, that sort of thing.
