Our reporter is continuing to visit different stalls and trading posts across the arena, including the Bucks branch of the National Vegetable Society. He is happy to report this morning’s rain has passed. It has also been confirmed that over 200 trading posts were erected for the event. Among the live events on offer was a live sheep shearing demonstration and an extended sheep showcase which is among the most popular events on this year’s programme.

A tractor parade has passed through the main arena and terrier racing competitions are now gracing Weedon Park. Our reporter also stopped by to check-out some award winning flowers.
11:30AM
Our reporter has been making his way through the site checking out the stalls within the country show grounds and getting an up close look at the trophy room. Events are continuing at the show’s main arena.
10:00AM
Events are already underway at Weedon Park on an admittedly wet Thursday morning. Our reporter has already been out to see sheep, cow, and cattle judging competitions. He also claims to have seen England cricketing great Alastair Cook in the Aylesbury Vale grounds. The phenomenal former batsman is of course from nearby Bedfordshire. Among the competitions that have already begun are cattle, sheep, and cow judging competitions.
It is one of the biggest one-day agricultural shows in the country, and last year welcomed more than 20,000 visitors.
Bucks Herald reporter Neil Shefferd is at the showground throughout the day, so follow our live coverage for photos and updates.
