A PRIMARY school youngster will have the thrill of seeing his art work on display at his village carnival this weekend.

Aaron Kirkbride has created a logo, which will be used by St Helens Residents' Association when they revive the carnival.

The association challenged children from St Helen Auckland Primary School to design a logo for the event, which takes place this Saturday, and it was Aaron's entry that caught their eye.

His picture of people of all ages standing side by side along with the caption 'Everybody Helping and Playing Together' will be transferred onto a banner by a professional artist and then displayed in the carnival parade. It will also be on show in the Newgate Street Shopping Centre in nearby Bishop Auckland.

Residents have worked hard over the past few months to revive the event which has fallen by the wayside in recent years.

Grants from Awards for All and Wear Valley District Council have gone towards putting on a host of entertainment and various stalls at Middlewood Green, in the village.

Coun Margaret Douthwaite and John Wilson, of the residents' association visited St Helens School to present Aaron with his prize.
