The attendants are Marley Feenie and Oliver Thomson.

While the poster competition, which was open to children from nursery age up to primary three, was won by Ellie Robertson.

Codi Main won the badge competition for pupils in primary four to seven.

Codi’s badge design will be used to produce badges for the gala, which are distributed to the school and at gala events, while Ellie’s poster will be used on the front of this year’s gala programmes.

The theme for next month’s Kinghorn Gala is ‘carnival’ and it is expected this will lead to a bright and colourful gala parade on Saturday, June 11.

The annual crowning ceremony of the king and queen will take place on Sunday, June 5 and the theme will be evident throughout the week long programme of events.

The organising committee looks forward to hosting a fun filled week of events which include family fun at the community centre on the afternoon of June 5, following the crowning, with inflatables, a magician and carnival games all on offer.

And they hope that the whole community will turn out in support of events.
