Carnival was a fantastic day (From Gazette & Herald)

Carnival was a fantastic day

THE people of Pickering, along with help from Wrelton and Lockton, have done it again. They turned out in force to support the recent carnival with good spirit and humour. The floats and fancy dress were fantastic, as were the banners.

I would like to thank everyone who took part in whatever way to make the day a success, not least commercial cervices who willingly cleared up the resulting debris, and the members of Pickering Community Events Group who all worked so hard.

This kind of event is only as successful as the people who commit to it, and they did.

It was indeed a great honour for me, as the mayor, this year to present the trophies and to be part of such a fantastic day.

By the way, the next carnival is in 2004!!
