Record Entry For Sparkling Newport Show
It's show time in Mayo and among the top attractions is the Newport Show being held on Wednesday next. With a record entry this year's show promises to be the most sparkling to date.
With nine magnificent perpetual trophies to be won, patrons are assured of keen competition in all classes. As usual the judging rings will draw the largest attendances, an aspect of the Newport show that was recently the subject of a very favourable comment by a radio commentator. The coveted Dr. Walsh Cup goes to the owner of the Champion Cow at the Show, and the judging of this, apart from the headache it causes to the judges, provides a great attraction for visitors to the show.
This year the committee have introduced sheep-dog trials, the first to be held in conjunction with the show.
A Donkey Derby — for the Championship of Mayo is also included in the programme. The winner receives a silver trophy and cash prize.
And as always, the highlight of the show is the Monster Show Dance in the Parochial Hall, Newport, on the same night. Music will be supplied by the showband of showbands -the Oriole.
