The two youngsters have a lot to smile about because new to the Showground this year are a number of features which are all about young visitors. Children can jump on board on the “Land Train” with its stopping stages around the showground; take the “Passport Challenge” and get their card stamped at identified locations before returning to the Membership Tent and a chance to win one of 250 goody bags or make their way to the “Childrens Education Area” which will host the fantastic Richard Savoury Sheep Show, the Education Marquee, the animal petting area and some great trade stands with things to interest children Foodies will be pleased to learn that The Food Hall is now bigger with almost a third more food producers showcasing the best of East Anglian produce. These new exhibitors are in addition to 40 new Trade Stands to the now over 120 trade stands and a number of new sponsors. The interest has been phenomenal and it promises to be the busiest Show to date. Ringside entertainment features the Adrenaline Tour - the awesome Quad and Motorcycle Stunt show, starring Jason Smyth; the Flying Fergies – the tractor display team, the agricultural equivalent of the “red arrows”; the East Anglian Fire & Rescue team which light some fires but fortunately are also on hand to put them out; the Young Farmers who battle it out in Tug-O-War and also with some Lawn Mower Racing! ...Continued on page 2
