CELEBRATIONS TOOK PLACE in style for the 80th anniversary of the Kildysart Agricultural Show.
Following an absence of three years, the show came back with a bang, thanks in no small part to the hard working committee who worked tirelessly in preparation of its return.
Wonderful exhibits were noticed in all sections including showjumping, horse and pony showing, cattle, sheep, donkeys and even a few goats arrived to compete for the Gerard Ginnane Memorial Cup, presented by his sister Ita Ann in his memory.
The vintage was as popular as ever with butter making one of the many attractions. There were the usual trade stands and lots of entertainment for the kids which kept them occupied.
PRO of the Kildysart Agricultural Show, Bridget Garry stated, “Mares and foals could only be described as equal if not better to what would be seen in the Breeders Championship at the RDS. Of course the Champion of Champions for young horses also brought out the cream from many parts of the country. The All Ireland two year old Filly Championship was certainly the most contested”.
She added, “The evening ended with the usual sing song in the bar, old friends met up and the events of the day were discussed. Without the generous sponsorship drawn from companies and individuals from many parts of the county and further afield, it wouldn’t be possible to stage this great event known as the best in the west”.
