“Our ’enchanted tee pee’ oversaw two rings which brought falcons and racing sheep to meet dancing ponies, urban gypsies, bands, and not forgetting the Zumba group.”
The event was born after Todmorden Agricultural Society announced its show would be moving to Cliviger in Lancashire after weight restrictions were imposed on Centre Vale Park.
The committee would like to thank all sponsors, foundation members and especially the army of volunteers who were able to make the event a success.
