The annual Glenamaddy District Ploughing & Agricultural Show will be held this Sunday, October 1st. Gates open to the public at 10.30 am.

The official opening by Jim Harrison (National Secretary of the Irish Shows Association) will take place at 12 noon on Sunday at the Glenamaddy Equestrian Centre.

As ever, this year’s show will feature a number of exciting events – from the variety of competitions for ploughing/animal classes and the many indoor and outdoor trade stands and exhibits, to the musical entertainment and kids’ activities running throughout the day.

A key part of the programme for the day will be the ploughing competitions, which will have four categories – tractor ploughing, horse ploughing, donkey ploughing, and vintage ploughing.

Importantly, each of these classes serve as a qualifying round for the National Ploughing Championships.

There is sure to be something for all the family at Sunday’s Glenamaddy Show, so be sure to come along, show your support, and enjoy a brilliant day out. For more information, visit glenamaddyshow.com.
