Does anyone know where I might be able to get some hessian sacks? We would like to have some sack races at our daughters birthday party, but can't seem to find them anywhere. It's not important that they be hessian, it's just that was the type traditionally used. Paul    Report

I'll try Gamm Vert first, then the Boulongerie. I have seen them for sale in the UK, but they can be a bit expensive to get posted here. Thanks again, Regards Paul    Report
