Sale Show
The Sale and District Agricultural Society held its annual Sale Show on the weekend of 2nd – 4th November.
Always a local hit, the 2018 Show was no exception. Despite windy weather, and threatening clouds, numbers were consistent with previous years as the crowds gathered on Friday afternoon and into the evening for the night carnival, rides and other attractions around the grounds.
A new addition to the Night Carnival this year was Kryall Castle’s world champion Jousters, wearing hand crafted, period replica armour; they wowed the crowds with stunning displays of Chivalry and Jousts!
The fun continued well into the evening, as large crowds took advantage of a spell in the windy weather to enjoy the Rides and stalls around the grounds.
Saturday morning the crowds returned, to check out the Kids Zone, the Tiny Tots competition and all the other exciting things still happening around the grounds.
Overall, the show was a great success, the Society would like to thank all involved for their efforts over the weekend.
The Sale Show Committee.
