Fancy dress costumes out in force at Burton Leonard
FANCY dress costumes were out in force as the sun shone for this year's Burton Leonard Feast and Sports Day.
The event began with Ripon City Band leading a street parade through the village and into the square which was followed by fancy dress and sporting competitions and a fair on the village green, on Saturday.
Yvonne Watson, secretary for event, said: "It was very well-attended. The weather was with us after the downpour on Friday."
There were 100 entrants in the fancy dress competition with costumes including a Dalek, a crocodile, an Olympic torch and marathon runner, a kangaroo and a bumblebee in a garden.
In the sports events, children competed in egg and spoon, bean bag and sack races.
Five trophies were awarded on the day. The winners were: Baby with the best-decorated pram – Libby Watson; Best-decorated bike – Imogen Unwin, seven; Best comic costume – joint entrants Oliver Purnell, three, and Jenny Unwin, 10; Most original – Jenny Unwin; Frank Irvin Sports Trophy – Charlie Baker, seven.
The funfair included a bouncy castle, slides, slot machines, a shooting range and hook-a-duck.
