How Winton got it's name

One night my great, great Grandmother told me a story of how Winton got it's name. She said that before Winton got it's name it was called No Name Town.

All the people that lived in No Name Town had nothing the only things that they had was wet, damp houses and  old wet clothes. All the kids had nothing, the only things they could play with was sticks out of the streams.

But then one day the Mayor of No Name Town came into town and said,
"This Town needs a name it is bad enough that it's wet, damp and muddy all day everyday. No Name Town is a bad name, so in a fortnight we will have a game. There will be two teams. One of them will be called, "Winton", and the other team will be called, "No Name Town". If Winton wins the town will be called Winton and if it doesn't the town will stay with No Name".

A fortnight later, it was great. It was a warm, sunny day, There was all sorts of equipment for a poor town, There was games like high jump, running, egg spoon, sack race and lots more. That afternoon both teams were competing against each other. Both teams were ready to hear that whistle go, both teams were really excited and really competitive and ready to win. As soon as that whistle went they were off like Cheaters it was amazing.

That mid afternoon, they were about to announce who won the challenge. "WINTON WON"! The Mayor yelled, all the crowd was so happy that they would be living in a town with a great name.

Once the Mayor got the sign up much, much, much more people started coming to live in Winton so that meant that the Mayor got much more money in, so with that money he painted all the houses, got better things in for the shops and he named all the streets.

So thats the story of how Winton got it's name. By Aimee
