FAMILIES in Gainford enjoyed some fun in the sun last weekend.
The village’s annual fun day on the green had plenty of entrants for the fancy dress parade, which had a theme of Under the Sea.
There were lots of events on the green including model steam train rides, smash a rat and a climbing wall. Races for the children were well fought and there was an egg throwing competition.
