Carnival, Somerset style

   so this is what 'Carnival' always meant to be, great tradition down here. Not so much rig [not a single one sounded particularly good at all], but lorry based scenes with music costumes and a bit of fun. Pretty boring as an adult but the kids loved it.

one of the majorette 'rigs'

	I went to that last year, north petherton illuminated carnival, at least that's where I saw it, does a little tour in a few towns doesn't it? No speaker pics on my pictures but there wasn't much, but certainly an interesting carnival none the less image hosting image hosting free image hosting 30 mb

	they have a season, carnivals all over the South, with the 'final' at Bridgwater where they have absolutely loads of floats! I was in Frome my hometown, not that big at all sadly - used to have loads more going on.

	I think they had around 100 floats when I went last year, to be honest though that was more than enough when your freezing your ass off standing there, although all of those bulbs certainly give off a lot of heat

	none of them care about the sound really. Most of them are bodged disco systems with shed loads of horns. Or loads of active boxes everywhere.
