208th Westmorland County Show
Friday, 14th September, 2007
The 208th Westmorland County Show will be remembered as a unique event - the only one in history not to include livestock classes. Despite the devastating news of the previous afternoon, crowds nevertheless flocked to the Showground demonstrating a huge wave of support, not only for the event itself, but also for the wider farming community. An almost record crowd of 25,100 enjoyed the day and it was great to see so many "would-have-been" exhibitors taking the time to come along even if their animals couldn´t.
