Crowds at Seaton first to see wild west open float, Yee Ha! First in class and best overall.

The mighty Sidvale CC has unveiled Yee Ha! as its 2011 offering on the illuminated circuit.

Competing in the open float (over 30 ft) class, the wild west entry is bound to be a big contender on the East Devon circuit this year.

Sidvale, one of the most successful carnival clubs in the district, with a glorious history, made it to the start line at Seaton this year - after fielding a walking entry only in 2010.

However, work was still being done to the float on the day of the event - including painting.

Here are some pictures to whet your appetite.

See Sidvale in action at Colyton Carnival on Saturday.
