Over 500 entries went on display at the West Huntspill Horticultural Society’s Flower, Vegetable, Cookery and Craft Show on Saturday 17th August.
Show Secretary Carrie Cavill says: “The event was very well supported by exhibitors, numbers were up on last year particularly from the children, and included several new exhibitors.”
“The standard was very high considering the difficult weather conditions we experienced this Spring. We would like to thank everyone for their support of this well loved annual show.”
“Entries are welcome from Locals and those living further afield. The Schedule for next year can be obtained from westhuntspillhortsociety@gmail.com in the Spring.”
