Although the wet weather may have put a dampener on the Saturday events at this year’s Galloway Country Fair held atDrumlanrig Castle & Country Estate near Thornhill, it didn’t stop thousands of people turning out to enjoy the Sunday.
The Dumfries and Galloway sun shone on what proved to be a wonderful afternoon. Although there was a wee bit of mud underfoot, the crowds dressed appropriately and were out in their masses, many with their dogs with them, enjoying the food, craft, art, stalls, entertainment and main arena demos that were on offer at this year’s fair.
Team DGWGO had a great time sampling the delights in the food hall, and looking around the craft zone and all the other stalls selling everything from toys and gifts, trucks .dog leads and treats, wellies and waterproofs to trucks. We even had Jessie the DGWGO doodle with us, who was happy to plod around, being patted and stroked by many people including total strangers and old friends. The main arena entertainment was top notch as always, educational, informative and fun. Plus RB got to enjoy a Cream o’ Galloway Visitor Centre Ice Cream.
You dont have to be interested in shooting or fishing to enjoy the country fair, there really is something for everyone to enjoy and see. A fantastic flag ship event for the region , with extremely friendly staff, great facilities, good parking, and easy access , in one of Dumfries and Galloways most stunning settings.
