Rain failed to dampen the spirits of revellers enjoying a family fun day.
Saturday’s downpour had threatened to call a halt to festivities at the event on the Oakley Vale estate.
But dedicated organisers put on their waterproofs and the sun eventually came out to make sure the day was a success.
Oakley Vale Community Association secretary Caroline Stuart said: “The weather broke in the end and it was a fantastic day.
“We saw more and more people turning up after the sun came out.
“I was there from 8am in the pouring rain but despite that we did the car boot sale and had about 14 cars taking part.
“We are raising money to pay for an outside electricity supply for Oakley Vale Primary School so it’s easier for them to run equipment outside.”
It was the first time the fun day, formerly called the Oki Doki Day, had been held at the school. Oakley Vale is one of the country’s fastest growing estates and organisers were keen to hold the fun day to help build more of a community spirit.
Stacey Spiteri, of Rochester Road, Corby, attended.
She said: “It’s been a good day – the weather picking up has been the main thing.
“We saw the dancers earlier and they were good.”
At the event Erika Browne, of Carlise Close, Corby, said: “It’s disappointing that there aren’t as many people here as usual because of the rain.
“The big bouncy castle got cancelled too but my kids are still really enjoying themselves.
“We’re looking forward to the karate display.”
