CROWDS flocked to Sat­ urday’s 65th Hodder Valley Show which was blessed with bright sunshine


throughout. A real highlight in the rural


calendar, this year’s show was one of the best ever for the number of visitors who attend­


ed. Held at a new venue this


year. Blue Butts Farm between Slaidbum and New­ ton, exhibitors travelled from far and wide to show their live­ stock. “The show went very well


and the excellent day set it all off,” said show president Mr Tom Robinson. “There was a brilliant tmmout of livestock and trade stands. I t ’s a real


good country show and I think the committee do very well. There’s something for every­ one without it becoming too commercial.” Mr Robinson added that


the highlight of the day for him, apart from being asked to be president, was the food haU, which was a new addition to the show. Ribble Valley, Coun. Bever­


ley Jones also enjoyed the hos­ pitality of the small country


event. “The weather enhanced the


occasion, but we were very impressed by the friendly atmosphere and the range of interesting exhibits,”said Coun. Jones. “The cattle were absolutely


beautiful that were in the show and were extremely varied, we were extremely fascinated by


the White Park breed. “We were also on the receiv­


ing end of generous hospitality from the show organisers who provided lunch for us and also escorted us round the show ground.” Amongst the many attrac­


tions the Bulldog Gymnastic Display Team wowed the crowds with their daredevil antics with some onlookers even reluctantly getting roped into the display themselves. Meanwhile, immaculately


turned out horsewoman Emma Green kept the audi­ ence captivated with her superb demonstration of rid­ ing side saddle in the show ground’s main ring. Other crowd puUers includ­


ed the display of Airedale Bea­ gles, while visitors watched in awe as the Valley’s finest took

part in a tug o’war and sheep shearing competitions under the warm September sun. Local yoimgsters, who sub­


mitted entries in the childreii’s section, demonstrated their vivid imaginations with such exhibits as cress grown on a


tooth brush, a recycled owl made from yoghurt pots, a ready meal tray and curtain tie backs, as well as a rocket made from Coca Cola cans. There were also floods of


necklaces, one made from radishes and another from Liquorice Allsorts and their amazing array of decorated


cakes. 9 Turn to page 14 for a pic­
