Organisers of the Shropshire County Show are hailing "possibly one of the best turnouts" in years after Saturday's event.The Lewis family from Uffington: Joshua, Debbie, Pete and Georgia with two of their Dorset Down sheep Adelaide and Daffodil.
"Many thanks to everyone for coming and supporting the show which brings the town and country together. One hundred per cent we will be running it at the same time next year for the 150th anniversary." Noel, who had been an armed response officer with the police had found the old tractor abandoned in a field.
It's now owned by Maggie and Mark Astbury who keep it at Criggon, just across the Powys border in Criggon. The couple also help to organise the sheep pens and Mr Lewis said the county show had a record 600 animals this year which is"good for the rare sheep sector." They are also helped by farm volunteer Ross Fellows a team manager at Tesco who helps out to get some fresh air.
