Crowds pour into Weston Park for Midland Game Fair
[gallery] Crowds were approaching the 100,000 mark at Weston Park as The Midland Game Fair celebrated its 30th anniversary with a whole host of attractions and stalls celebrating country life.
Organisers said thousands of people enjoyed the afternoon on Saturday, while thousands more wrapped up warm and braved the rain yesterday.

Some of the most popular attractions included a display by jousting team the Knights of Middle England in the main arena and The Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment's parachute display team.
Andrea Webster, spokeswoman for Weston Park, said: "It has been a fantastic weekend and Saturday was glorious so everyone really enjoyed themselves.
"Sunday's weather wasn't as good, a little damp, but nowhere near the bad storms predicted so I can say the event was a great success once again.
"People came from far and wide to enjoy it and we had so much on for them see."
A spokesman for Countryman Fairs added: "The show has something for everyone from world class clay pigeon shooting to game and coarse fishing demonstrations, gun dog competitions, falconry displays, ferret racing, fine arts and rural crafts plus over 700 stands for all your countryside shopping needs.
"Along with championship finals in a host of sporting disciplines, the Midland also provides a comprehensive programme of entertainment too, bringing music, educational displays and have-a-go features that makes for a truly fantastic day out."
Carrie Wilson, 28, from Ironbridge, said: "I went on Sunday and it was wet, but everyone seemed to be trying their best to keep the spirits up.There was so much to see and do."
