resford Show once again proved why it is so well respected and enjoyed by the people who attend. Although the weather conditions were hot and humid many braved the heat to come along and support the show. The guinea pigs, bunnies, poultry and petting nursery proved popular with families whilst other spectators watched the horses and cattle go through their paces in the main arena. The new Torryburn Stud Off the Track Classic for Thoroughbreds was well supported. In the pavilions a huge display of pot plants and flowers filled the air with perfume and the cooking, jams and fancywork was
of the usual high standard. The produce, fruit and vegies also had a good display even though the season had not been kind. As darkness overtook the brilliant sunshine of the day the little patrons were entertained at the Kids Disco run by DJ Nathan while waiting for the fantastic Fireworks display which lit up the sky. Gresford Show is a credit to the many people in the rings, pavilions and many other areas who provide hours of work behind the scenes to make it all happen. A big vote of thanks goes to each and every one who helped in any way to make the Gresford Show such a success. – Rosalie Lawrence
