Villagers turned out in numbers to support the event, which was officially opened by Fylde mayor Elaine Silverwood and there was a colourful array of produce on show, thanks to 670 individual entries in a wide variety of categories, from jam making to growing vegetables, along with some 600 school entries for skills such as handwriting.
