Beautiful vegetables ... just look at those onions!
Following months of planning by a small and dedicated committee, yesterday's Boyle Horse & Summer Show 2014 was our best ever. The weather might have become a problem, but it didn't. Fears that the ground might be too wet were not realised. Hundreds turned up and enjoyed the day of spectacle with two horse jumping arenas, a 28 category dog show that displayed 75 gorgeous dogs, onsite food and trade stalls and entertainment enclosures for our 'young-uns'
The committee can relax today in the sure knowledge that they have given us another hugely successful show ... Congratulations to them, their marshals, assistants, markers, judges and all involved ... roll on 2015! View photos [here...]
