Lambeth Country Show 2007
The Alternative Vegetable Sculpture Competition
(21st July 2007, photos by urban75)
Building on the success of last year's debut, the unofficial Alternative Vegetable Animal Competition once again proved a hit.
The rules were simple, with two categories open to all:
1. Famous people
2. Famous buildings
Only vegetables, fruit and cocktails sticks are allowed, with the judging taking place at 4.00pm Saturday on the Village Green
The prize for the winners was a a (cheap) bottle of champagne.
Here's the photos:
