Sun and smiles shine for Selby

WITH perfect temperatures and just the right amount of sunshine, crowds flocked to the Selbyfest last Saturday.
There was plenty of community spirit with stalls from local community members selling a range of wares including food, trinkets, clothing and bric a brac.
Students from Selby Primary School, firefighters from the Selby Fire Brigade and volunteers from the Selby Community House were also present.
Families enjoyed the many activities offered on the day, as well as live entertainment from numerous bands and music groups.
Reporter Emma Sun was there to get some photos of the festivities.
