THE ALRESFORD Show looks set to break attendance and fundraising records this year, say organisers.
Show secretary Val Watley said: “The fine weather encouraged everyone out.
“And although we haven’t yet completed the paperwork, indications are that this year’s show was a record breaker in terms of the number of people who came, and the amount raised.
“It was lovely to see the heavy horses back at the show, the livestock section was packed with people, and the vintage tractor and machinery area was heaving.
“The dancing sheep were great fun, but for me, it was just lovely to see people sitting in the sun relaxing, and enjoying the atmosphere.”
Money from the show is ploughed back into the community, supporting educational farming projects, the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance, local schools and numerous other good causes.
