CHRISTMAS may be over, but in Harrogate the festive season continues at the 54th annual toy and decoration fair.

First Fair Harrogate, which began at the Harrogate International Centre on Saturday, saw 250 companies put the latest toy crazes and Christmas decorations on display as part of the UK's first major trade exhibition of the year. The two main toy crazes to emerge from the exhibition were electric motor scooters, based on the Mods and the Rockers, which retail at about £250, and the Yucky Yo Ball, which is a squashy water-filled yo-yo which retails at 99p.

The exhibition continues until Wednesday.
