THE 165th Cardigan Agricultural Show drew the crowds to Briscwm on Saturday (August 3) as the weather gods smiled down.
The odd early-morning shower failed to dampen the enthusiasm of both competitors and visitors as the switch to a weekend event, first trialled last year, again proved popular.
There was something for everyone and chairman Lyn Jones said it was great to see the show continue to thrive despite the many changes over the years.
“It is an important day to show the countryside and agriculture at its best,” said Lyn.
“So many different things affect the show with the changes in quarantine rules and other such things but the change to a Saturday seems to be popular and it’s great to see families coming through the gates to spend the day here.
“On behalf of the show, I would like to thank sponsors, advertiser, stall holders and exhibitors for their continued support and finally to the committee members, stewards and volunteers.
“Your hard work ensures the continued success of the show.”
