Cardigan County Agricultural Show
1854 - 2004
150th Aniversary

Here are extracts from the book

 

 1931 - It was Crymych's turn this year to host the show held at Bwlchclawdd-Mawr. It was held in excellent condition with a good crowd attendance.
1931 - A special prize was given by Mr Huw Ladd, Auctioneer and Mayor of Cardigan, of a Welsh Oak Chair for the best milking cow, puting most emphasis on the cows udder and veining with the potential to produce milk.
1929 - Over 1600 people attended with good entries in all sections. The only new breed this year was the Ryland Sheep.
1906 - This year the judging in the Horse Section carried on until 7.30 in the evening; it was thereafter proposed that there should be two judging rings the following year.
1938 - Due to the lack of interest the Agricultural Show was not held but the Horticultural Show continued to be held at the Market Show; this proved once again to be successful.
2003 - Despite a damp start to the day, which was somewhat unusual for Cardigan Show, competitors arrived at the showground full of enthusiasm. The reintroduction of classes for cattle and other cloven hoofed animals, after the ravages of Foot and Mouth, was very welcomed.
1997 - Once again Cardigan Show lived up to its tradition as one of the best one day shows in the principality. There were excellent entries in all sections as well as over 120 trade stands making the show field a worthy spectacle for the public to enjoy.
