The scouts made a guy and he was parked on the top. The American Airforce base nearby would come down with their big grills and cook burgers for everyone. The money raised by the &#39;penny for the guy&#39; bought the burgers. <br />After that it would be back home where there would be more burgers and our own little display in my parents garden and we got all the neighbours round.<br />Now the big one has gone commercial, the Airforce Base has gone, the guy is not taken round anymore and the money for it is raised by the stalls and rides - bit sad :( The village has almost doubled in size too so it has lost the community feeling, with so many people.Rosiehttp://www.realisingthedream.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7175981378563441793.post-39986321529509897442009-11-07T03:52:20.133Z2009-11-07T03:52:20.133ZBeing in America, I don&#39;t know this day. It sounds fun though. A few of our holidays are similar, but not the same.Rattyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04062449024949497557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7175981378563441793.post-53629717591924251002009-11-07T01:53:30.990Z2009-11-07T01:53:30.990ZI have to say that I have never heard of bonfire night or Guy Fawkes night.
