Hundreds of Wistaston families had a blast at the village’s 35th annual Fireworks Display.
The event included judging of the children’s best pumpkin and best fancy dress competitions, before a procession to the Eric Swan Sports Ground off Church Lane for the display.
All proceeds this year will go to 35th South West Cheshire Wistaston Scout Group for a building of a Jubilee headquarters at Bluebell Wood.
The results of the children’s best pumpkin competition were:
– 1st prize (£5 and a certificate) – Jack Bickerton with his Thomas the Tank Engine themed design.
– 2nd (£3 and a certificate) – Harry Valentine.
– 3rd (£2 and a certificate) – Ethan Bossons.
The results of the children’s fancy dress competition were:
– 1st prize (£5 and a certificate) – Geremy Burrows as a monster.
– 2nd (£3 and a certificate) – Lewis Rossiter as a skeleton pirate.
– 3rd (£2 and a certificate) – Lucy Brunt as a little witch.
Crewe-based community radio station RedShift Radio provided music during the display.
Professional fireworks display specialist Comet Fireworks set up and lit the fireworks 12 and a half minute display.
It included shells, cakes, mines and Roman candles linked to a computer system in sync with the music.
The 35th South West Cheshire, Wistaston Scout Group served refreshments, while Wistaston Community Council members sold candyfloss and ‘Stevo’s Glows’ sold children’s flashing novelties.
The event was organised by the Wistaston Community Council and funded by Wistaston Community Council and Wistaston Parish Council.
Dane Chaplow, chairman of Wistaston Community Council, said: “The children’s competitions, procession and the fireworks were very well supported.
“RedShift Radio once again provided excellent music and Comet Fireworks provided a fantastic display. It was the best event ever for size, scale and budget.”
Wistaston Community Council wants new members to help organise next year’s display and events like the Summer Fete, Flower and Produce Show and the Spring & Christmas concerts.
