Pictures From The Alton Show. 2010.

I thought that i had better get around to posting just a few of the photo's i took whilst wandering around the Alton Show at Froyle Park on Sunday 4 July 2010. The weather was perfect for an agricultural show, the sun was shining with a breeze that kept most people cool, making it a pleasurable day out for all of the people that visited.

Most of the country folk of course were there to show off their best animals to be judged in various categories of competition between the many breeds of farm animals that were present at the Alton Show. It is of course, the main reason why these shows exist as many were started by local farmers as a yearly get together to find the best breeding animals for next years season, and is still a reason why most farmers attend such shows today.

There are many more things to see and do at the Alton Show, with exhibitions from a range of countryside business from local food and drink, to old steam engines and vintage vehicles. Local crafts and countryside pursuits can also be seen at the show with an opportunity to test your ability.

So, all in all, it was a pleasure to visit the show and have a look around the local artisans and producers that keep our countryside the way we all know and love. I for one will certainly be back next year for more of the same, and suggest that you do too.
