Not only is it by far the oldest carnival in the district, but it has met with annually increased contributions the ever growing demands of the local medical charities on whose behalf it is organised. In far away 1927-faraway in a carnival sense-the amount allocated was £138. Last year it was £700. This year it will be...that depends on how the people of Heanor and district rally round the organisers in the closing stages of the carnival. The amount distributed since the first carnival is £4320. This must be taken well past the £5000 mark this year.Heanor Carnival has a habit of bubbling over as if the pent up enthusiasm of those taking part must find some outlet before Carnival Week begins. Enthusiasm even contrives to survive the strenuous programme of the week itself and to extend into the following week.We must begin our account of carnival long before the great event has been officially declared open. We have recorded the symptoms of carnival fever manifest in meetings and conclaves in myriad letters on the bright carnival notepaper and in numberless telephone calls and bus rides" the article then goes on to describe the Rag-Taghillian more soon!
