SOME 200 years of tradition continues in Monmouth this coming Saturday - July 6 - when the Monmouthshire Show takes place.
The event - at the town's Monmouthshire Showground - continues to be a huge draw, an annual celebration of the best of local rural and agricultural talent that attracts thousands of visitors.
There will be demonstrations, displays and parades in the main ring, as well as showjumping and the usual livestock shows featuring sheep, cattle, dogs, and horses.
Other attractions include a live music stage and a sheep-shearing competition.
