BELOVED Toy Story characters, Baywatch lifeguards and a game of Tetris all made an appearance in Overton last week.

Costumed competitors careened their way through the village at this year’s Overton Wheelbarrow Race on Friday, July 14.

The teams raced their way from Pound Road through The Greyhound, The Old House at Home, The Overton Memorial Institute, The White Hart, The Red Lion before reaching the finish line party at Overton Recreation Centre on Bridge Street.

As they made their way round the village, competitors collected money from supporters in aid of Overton United FC.

Organiser Gary Savory said: “The event went great. Eighty-eight competitors took to the streets and the village came out in support.

“It was great to see families support the local pubs too.

“The post-event party went well with trophies handed out to the fastest pair and best dressed small, medium and large teams.

“We also had great music from Acoustix and Riley K.

“Thanks to everyone that entered the race and supported along the route."
