64-YEARS-OLD this year and still going strong, the Scariff annual ag- ricultural show will be cause for another great family day out on Sep- tember 6.
The landmark event is being held in the showgrounds again this year. A spokeswoman for the show commit- tee said that “most of our success is down to the support and encourage- ment we receive from our sponsors and the local support of people who come on the day.”
There are loads more activities planned this year, with bouncy cas- tles, a funfair and some new trade stands along with all the old relia- bles.
The show committee is “proud to have the local vintage display at our show again this year and you might be lucky to be crowned Queen of the Plough, a competition kindly spon- sored by Michael Ryan of Scariff”, the spokeswoman said.
One of the most popular events is the dog show, with lots of novelty classes as well as the usual variety
classes. The Indoor section has also got some new classes for adults and children – so it’s time to paint that picture, bake that cake, pick those flowers, or knit that scarf.
The horse classes will include mare and foal, young horses, jumping, show hunter and working hunter, pony classes – with new classes this year – side saddle, donkey and sheep sections. The ISA and Scariff Show All-Ireland Filly Championship will be held at 3pm.
There is also a new and added fun race at our show this year, The Don-
key Derby.
Show judges will be on the look out for the best dressed lady, best dressed child and fancy dressed child as well as the bonniest baby.
The night would not be complete without the show dance, which is held in Craic n’ Back at Rodgers in Scarf.
