On Friday 26th may in port Ellen at the co-op beach there was a community festival. They were selling cakes, drinks and toys. Up to a certain time the burgers and drinks were free however eventually the burgers and drinks were £2.50. All the stores were giant tents and they were constantly crowded.
Most of the people from the school were there and people from all over Islay where there too. More than one hundred people were just wandering around, either playing on the beach or talking. There was about 5 people running each store and they were constantly busy.
Some people were sitting down on the beach however no one went too close too the water as everyone wanted to buy something when the lines went down. The toy store shut down at about half seven however most other stores were still running.
Most people started leaving at around about eight to either go to their home or just to have a walk around the beach. The stores started to close and go out of stock so people shut down their store which made people leave.
