The livestock section proved extremely busy, as farmers filled their pens with Suffolk, Texel and Charollais sheep, to name but a few.
Trade stands were flooded with prospective customers, local businesses set up shop to sell and advertise throughout the day. With nearly 15,000 people at the show, the day was a great opportunity to avail of and over 300 businesses and organisations were there to do exactly that.
The day concluded with the very well organised annual vintage rally. Tractors and steam engines from all eras were on show and it proved to be an enjoyable rally for spectators of all ages.
