Laois natives impressed wholly at this year’s Tullamore Show, Ireland’s largest one-day argicultural show.
Winners came all around the county; from Ballickmoyler, Clonaslee, Ballacolla, Stradbally, Raheen and Ballyfin.
Averaging 60,000 visitors in recent years, there were 700 Trade Stands from Agri Sectors, Home Industries, Farm Produce, Innovation, Forestry, Agri Machinery and more.
Crowds of people from all over the country descended on the Butterfield Estate on August 11 for the annual show.
The event played host to a jam-packed schedule, with a prize fund of €175,000 collected by winners of the various classes held on the day.
