Success for two day extravaganza

Staffordshire County Show’s organisers are celebrating following an incredible two show days with attendance topping 55,000 visitors.

The public flocked to the show in their masses with huge crowds surrounding the arena to watch the spectacular Bolddog Lings Motorcycle Display Team, thrilling the audience with their jaw dropping stunts and the grandstand seating was full to bursting.

A spokesman for the show said: “The sun broke through at lunch time and the 100-acre site looked magnificent with the trade stand avenues bustling with people.

“The quality and quantity of trade stands are improving year on year and the site was totally sold out of space well before show day.

“For the first time in history a new trophy was presented to the stand awarded overall in the Trade Stand Competition kindly donated by The Hobson Family.

“Lower Drayton Farm of Penkridge were delighted to receive the trophy.”

They continued: “With a Craft Fair, Food Hall, Vintage Section, Classic Car Displays, Model Railway Rides, a Fun Fair and so much more, visitors were spoilt for choice.

“The livestock entries were up on previous years and the Grand Parade was a true testimony to British Agriculture with the finest champion animals paraded for all to see.”

Richard Williams, Chief Executive of the show, added: “I would like to thank all those involved in putting on a spectacular two days and I pay tribute to the tireless work of the hundreds of volunteers involved. “Next year’s show will be held on May 29 and 30, again in the half term week.

“The new attractions for this year were incredibly well received, especially the West Lancs Dogs Display Team in the Country Pursuits Area, who we hope will be back with us next year.”
