Sir Gavin Williamson attended the annual Haywoods Flower and Vegetable show which is always held on the second Sunday in September.
The event is organised by volunteers – bringing the community together with prizes in various categories with 116 opportunities to enter ranging from best flower to biggest pumpkin.
Organisations including Hixon First Responders, Guide Dogs for the Blind, local PCSO’s, and the RNLI attended to offer advice and support as well as fundraise for their vital causes that make a huge difference to communities across Staffordshire.
The group do not make a profit, and simply aim to ensure costs can be covered for the event, refreshments, and raffle ticket sales.
Sir Gavin said: “I was delighted to attend the Haywoods Flower and Vegetable show and see so many residents across Colwich, Little Haywood, and Great Haywood taking part in such a fantastic competition.
"These events really bring the community together and enable residents to socialise as well as raise money for important causes.
“I would like to thank the hard working volunteers for their efforts – without them, these events would not be able to take place.”
