Mother and babe dancingEpeigné’s first Fête Country proved to be a great success breaking all records for the May fêtes of previous years. The morning randonnée (from 8am) attracted 200 walkers against the customary 60. The mayor, Michel Mergot, was occupied from 8.30am directing the traffic, which later included 30 Harley Davidsons.
'The Harley Boys'
Once the fête got away at midday 500 meals were sold with the much appreciated chilli con carne selling out as well as the steaks and the spare ribs. At the last Fête du Lac only 170 meals were sold. This year 800 glasses of draught beer were consumed. In all well placed sources say that there were over 1000 visitors.

Wow Jim, love the great music on the comment form!! We love country music and we hope it will be a country do next year. We were in the Loire this year but didn't know it was on. Thanks for the date. The French love country music, apparently. We turned up on our Harleys one year at a Harley shop somewhere in Brittany to find a country music bash going on. It was great fun but somewhat incongrous we thought. The burgers served at the burger van were definitely "a point".
Hi Jean. Have passed your comments onto Mark, who is on the comité des fêtes, so we'll see what happens. if you promise to turn up on your Harleys that might swing it!
