"We come every year. The weather is amazing."We've watched most of the school performances and they are very diverse. The students have enjoyed it but I prefer the horse jumping."The food stalls were also packed, a long line waited for fish at St Paul's AME Church stand.Kay Thomas was organising the stall and said they had served more than 100 people by 1pm."This is the first time we have done a stall," she said. "I can't believe how hungry Bermuda is!"We are raising money for our church's building fund."Seven-year-old Claudia Fortuna, of MSA, spent the morning touring the exhibition.
