THE circus came to town and there were clowns everywhere dressed in bright colours, as well as other circus acts, helping to brighten the day at Builth Wells carnival.
People of all ages joined in the fun as they gathered on the Groe at the beginning of the afternoon.
The overall shield for the best float went to Builth Wells Rotary Club with their ‘Tallest Man Circus’ entry.
They were presented with their award by the High Sheriff of Powys Cllr David Price and his wife Elaine after they concluded the judging of the floats.
The fancy dress entrants were judged by the town’s new mayor Cllr Paul McNiffe, accompanied by former mayor Cllr Meryl Prynne.
Following the judging of all the floats and fancy dress entrants there was a grand procession around the town before everyone returned to the Groe.Builth fest results carnival day June 16Best adult float1st The Rotary – the greatest show in Builth2nd Sister act – the Ladies choirBest childrens float Joint 1st western Grove - billy wells big top And the Price family and co – Circus time Best float overall was awarded to the Rotary with the greatest show in BuilthFancy Dress competitions4 years and under individual fancy dress 1st Jessie Cannings - his dad in his work van2nd Sydney Chester – Holly3rd Jasper Macmillan – pirate ship4 years and under Group fancy dressJoint 1st the children from Cylch – the gardeners and their gnomes And -Betsan Davies, Florence Cook and Elsie Davies - 3 little pigs5 – 7 years individual fancy dress1st Ava Rollinson – clown2nd Levi Price – Yoda3rd Cari Jones-Evans – Unicorn 5 – 7 years group fancy dress1st –Chloe Edwards, Ellen Nicholls and Henry John Healy - Mini greatest showman2nd –Lacey lee West and Cariad Hedderly - circus group Joint 3rd –Annabelle and Luca Bundy - Fred and Wilma and Ben and Oliver Jenkins - batman and Robin 8 – 11years individual fancy dress1st Seren Rutherford – clown 2nd Cleo Price – Kermit the frog3rd Mykayla Williams – Mime artist8 – 11 years group fancy Dress1st Ella Mae Meadows, Alexia Woolaston and Emily Gwillim -the circusJoint 2nd –Freya Probert and Megan and Sian Williams - snap, crackle and Pop and Erin Dark and Chelsea Jones - Thing 1 and 2 Joint 3rd –Jasmin Cannings, Annie Davies, megan Claridge, Olivia McClellan and Evie Phillips - Spice GirlsAnd Katlyn Palmer and Aimee Allcoat - Gymnastics girls Best overall fancy dress competitor/sThe Mini greatest showman The best dressed shop window results 1st Eco Chic2nd Tranquillity 3rd Century MarksBest scarecrow competition1st The wizard of Oz 2nd Teenage mutant ninja turtles3rd E.TCraft and produce resultsPre-school best decorated circus themed biscuits1st Emma Bridgeman2nd Ellie Price3rd Huw Elias Pre- school best circus themed paper plate 1st Louis Lewis2nd Florence Kelham3rd Florence CookPre -school best potato print picture1st Darcie Hughes2nd Jessie Cannings 3rd Aidan4-6 years best circus tent 3D model 1st Jessie Davies2nd Annabelle Bundy3rd Jessie Cannings 4 – 6 years best picture of a clown 1st Teleri Davies2nd Rhys Jones Joint 3rd Daisy H Morris and Esme Lewis 4 – 6 years best decorated circus themed biscuits 1st Magi-Gwen Davies2nd Jessie Davies3rd Annabelle Bundy7-9 years best picture of a clown 1st Gruff Price2nd Erin Powell 3rd Harri Price7-9 years best decorated circus themed cakes1st Gwennie Davies2nd Eleri Price7-9 years best toilet roll Animal 1st Jessie Ponting2nd Thomas Hurford3rd Meuryn Rees10 -12 years best decorated circus themed cakes1st Keisha Jenkins Joint 2nd Katlyn Palmer and Annie Davies 10 – 12 years best picture of a clown 1st Riley Bujok2nd Jasmin Cannings 3rd Rhys Adshead10 -12 years best animal – toilet roll1st Seren rutherford 2nd Keisha Jenkins 10 – 12 years best decorated cakes circus themed 1st Jasmin Cannings 10 -12 years best circus themed Mobile1st Seren Rutherford2nd Sophie Ponting3rd Katlyn Palmer 10 – 12 years best poster ‘the circus is coming to town’1st Sophie Ponting2nd Rhiannon Evans 3rd Jasmin CanningsAdult best Rainbow cake1st Margret Cannings2nd Marie BeehanAdult Best bunting – circus themed 1st Mrs A Groves2nd Marie BeehanFloral art – circus themed 1st Wendy Taylor2nd Marie Beehan 3rd Aimee Powell Winner of the best programme cover for 2019 Is Luke Morgan
