The event also saw a planter competition for local schools, which was judged by an independent panel.
Winning the competition was Osgodby Primary, with Market Rasen Primary School in second place and Faldingworth Primary School in third place.
“There were some really good entries,” said Mr Eastburn.
“Well done to them all.”
The event was a chance too for a number of local charities and good causes to raise money.
Among them was Market Rasen Station Adoption Group.

“We met lots of very nice people and our ‘Train Game’ attracted a lot of attention, with visitors trying to guess the correct number of beads in our moving train wagons - the correct number was 252.”
