A SUCCESSFUL open day was held at Carrs Billington in Malton.

The agricultural merchant moved its Country Store earlier this year to its current location in Horsemarket Road, opposite Cundall’s Auction Mart.

Activities included special offers, competitions, guess the weight of the sheep challenge and demonstrations.

A spokesman for the company said the firm had seen great support from the local community.

“The staff at Carrs Billington were extremely pleased with the turnout from customers and new faces alike,” he said.

“Many customers enjoyed the social event which allowed them to catch up with Carrs Billington staff and other customers too.”

The successful estimate in the guess the weight of the sheep competition was 91.5kg, and the winner was rewarded with a £40 in voucher to spend in store.

“The staff at Carrs Billington would like to thank all who attended for their support and wish them all the best for 2015,” added the spokesman.
