Families enjoy show day fun

9:16am Thursday 13th September 2012 in News By Keighley News reporter

The sun finally came out and gave Bradley residents a family day to remember.

Large crowds enjoyed a traditional afternoon of entertainment, with Punch and Judy shows, a tug of war competition, Earby Brass Band and the annual fell faces combining to make it a memorable afternoon.

The rain that had fallen earlier in the week helped to send the ducks in the duck race flying along the beck. The show was officially opened by Kevin Griffiths, Skipton’s Town Crier, on behalf of this year’s show queen Isabelle Mitchell and her attendants, Jacob Conroy and Phoebe Alborne.
