DUMFRIES SHOW 2014 ,PICTURES AND REVIEW

Team DGWGO joined the huge crowds that braved the rain to enjoy the 2014  Dumfries Show at Park Farm Dumfries on Saturday the 2nd of August !

And What a show it was , Even though it was on  one of the wettest days of this summer so far , massive crowds had turned out to be entertained , with all the usual show stands and stalls , and Animlas , plus so much more , Including motorbike stunt shows and fun for all the family .

R.B went along with L.C and 3 kids and her daughter and his Nephew and niece , who were all under the age of 11 so got free entry  , which really makes the show a great value family day out , as there is so much to see and do , and its not just entertainment for farmers , there really is something for everyone as you can see from the 135 photos that we have included in this article !

 

With Animals of all shapes , sizes , breeds and types to see , there truly is something for everyone , the kids were fascinated with the cows but also loved seeing the smaller animals at the RHET Tent , where they got to handle ducks, stroke sheep and  calves and learn how to milk a cow ! They also saw a cow being milked for real , down in the cattle alley . One of the highlights for team DGWGO was getting to meet Billy and Oscar , Scotlands only fire dogs , and the kids even got to interact with them , buy being involved with the dogs doing a display at work , tracking down possible causes of fire , even in the rain these dogs could do an amazing job , and were brilliant to watch .

Although the weather did put pay to the main parade taking place in the afternoon , the show still went on , with a fantastic motorbike stunt display being held in the main ring to a packed out grandstand, and the Horse Jumping carried on , and it was great to watch , and I loved photographing it to ( even though the rain was playing havoc with my camera and lenses ) . 

As many folk know , I am a farmer for a living for my day job , and i run DGWGO and R.B photography in my spare time , but i have not been to any of the local agricultural shows in over 7 years , as I lost interest in them , and felt after the foot and mouth outbreak in 2001 , the shows had lost their fun and zing . but Dumnfries show has restored my faith , We really enjoyed everything about it , and the vibe and fun . The Food hall, Flower tent and craft area were all packed , it was fantastic to see so many entries to all of the competitions , and it was really great to see so many people smiling , laughing and enjoying the regions largest Agricultural show  of the year . We will definately be back again next year , and hopefully the sun will shine too !

 

We Hope you enjoy our photos
