A LOCAL firm has stepped up to help sponsor this year's Otley Carnival.
Otley-based CW Service Engineering, which specialises in the service and repair of food processing equipment, has pledged money towards covering the cost of the parade bands.
The move follows an appeal by the Carnival Committee for more sponsorship to ensure the 2017 event, on Saturday, June 17, can raise a good amount for its beneficiaries.
Otley Parish Church Bell Restoration Appeal, Otley Skate Park Users Group and Otley Science Festival will all receive a share of the proceeds this year.
Anyone business or group interested in becoming a carnival sponsor should contact Treasurer Ann Steval by sending an e-mail to steval@btinternet.com .
