Report copied from Craven Herald sort of kills the idea from DingDong..!!!
FAMILIES flocked to a fun event in Silsden at the weekend.
Silsden Park was the setting for a party to kick off a series of July events celebrating the first anniversary of the Tour de France coming through the town.
The Grand Day Out In The Park lasted six hours and spread across a large area of the park.
Silsden Bowls Club had an open day where people could try crown green bowling, using special targets on the green.
Silsden Storm, the town’s new under-10s rugby league team, played against Swillington early in the day, then in the afternoon Silsden AFC juniors played exhibition matches and hosted a penalty shoot-out competition.
There were also relay races, tennis coaching on the tennis courts, a demonstration by scooter experts on the ‘rocks and ramps’, and a children’s obstacle course, run by cycle training organisation Becycling of Bingley.
Silsden Town Band performed music, dogs showed off their ability on a special course, and West Yorkshire Police officers chatted with visitors.
The organisers of the event, Silsden’s Grand deParty Group, said they were grateful to everyone who was involved with the event.
