Newton Press would like to thank all those who took part in the Balloon Race held at the Great Aycliffe Show on the Bank Holiday Weekend in August.
£96 was raised and all the proceeds will go to the newly formed Great Aycliffe Community Aid.
The balloon which travelled the furthest belonged to Katie Patterson of Welbury Grove who will receive £50; Katie’s balloon eventually landed in Denbigh, North Wales travelling approximately 187 miles. Mr Davies, who found the balloon, will also receive £50.
