Alsager Carnival was "fantastic"

Aimee Standring and Emily Steer won the children's fancy dress prize at Saturday's Alsager Carnival.
Reported by the Congleton Guardian, this year's event was circus-themed and clowns flooded the streets of Alsager.
Carnival royal Jennifer Hargreaves sat in a princess dress in a vintage Rolls Royce, eventually being crowned by Alsager Round Table chairman Paul King.
Jennifer's mother Alison recently told the newspaper that her daughter has had a "tough" year after a number of family deaths, but that her "sunny, smiley, nature" made her an excellent choice for carnival queen.
Other activities included a best float competition, brass bands, a world oatcake-throwing championship and a dog show.
"Considering the weather the turnout was fantastic and I would like to thank everyone who took part and supported the event," said organiser Richard Sutton.
"Local people want to support the carnival and it was a lovely day, with a genuine community atmosphere."
