WHITEFORD OPENS HATTON GALA
Monday 28 June 2010
Banff & Buchan MP Eilidh Whiteford performed the official opening of Hatton Gala yesterday (Sunday).
The Gala Queen and her attendants set off from Northfield conveyed by vintage tractor and led by Ellon Pipe Band where they did a circuit of the village before arriving at the village hall where the local MP performed the crowning ceremony and officially opened the gala day.
Commenting, Eilidh Whiteford MP said:
"Events such as these are really important in the community calendar, especially in smaller communities. The volunteers who give up their time to organise galas and the people who turn out to support them can be proud of the part they play in village life."
