Sheep, horses, dogs and a fly past by a local resident - all highlights of a Radnorshire agricultural show
A fly past by a local resident wowed the audience at a Radnorshire agricultural show, which was a huge success
There were a few showers in between glorious sunshine at Dolygarn Farm, where Llanbadarn Fynydd Show took place hosted once again by James and Rachel Powell and family.
Show secretary Katie Rowlands said: “The show was well attended by the community and further afield.
“Show President Mrs Clare Evans opened the show congratulating the committee on their efforts, praising all of the exhibitors who had prepared, baked, cleaned and clipped their exhibits ready for the show.
“As Clare thanked the show committee for the honour to be president at this year’s show, local Dominic Cross did a fly pass in his aircraft, as show goers cheered.”
New to this year’s show was the trail race which saw nine year old Brenin Hughes win followed closely by his father Dave Hughes, Maesllan. The race went onto the top of the hill behind the showfield, from where you could see Pen Y Fan.
