TWO village galas have been described as successful events by their organisers.
Silsden Gala, at the town’s park, was billed as the final event of Silsden’s Grand DeParty.
A procession along the town’s main street included decorated bikes, prams and scooters, as well as individuals in costumes, including a jellyfish and a soggy Zumba dancer.
The Grand DeParty committee, who had previously hosted a park fun day and showcase for local groups, thanked everyone who took part in Sunday’s event as well as the gala committee.
Cowling Gala was organised by a new committee of five working mums following the disbandment of the previous committee last year.
Sally Horner, one of the women, said the event was a huge success, with many locals commenting that it was the "best gala for years".
She said: “Even a torrential downpour was not enough to deter people. It was enjoyed and supported by the whole village."
