Island Life August/September 2018

Country Life
County Show 2018
- what a scorcher!
This year’s Royal Isle of Wight County Show
was one of the hottest ever experienced.
No fear of rain but extra precautions taken to ensure
the animals were kept in prime condition and did
not adversely suffer from the high temperatures.
The attendance and entries unfortunately did suffer
on the hottest day of the year so far, but the new
additions to the show, alongside the traditional mix
of animals, large machines and family entertainment
still resulted in another successful show.
Great thanks goes to all the sponsors, supporters and
volunteers who helped to make the event a true County
Show and one which we hope the Island is proud of.
Wellies on for 2019!
