After a damp start, the sun shone down on a fantastic 70th Annual Martletwy YFC Show at Carew Airfield.

Photographer Susan McKehon was on hand at the event last Wednesday (August 23) to capture the presentations. Just as well since, in the words of one show-goer, “we were enjoying watching the show so much the camera never came out!”

The show officials and committee expressed their gratitude to everyone who had made this year’s show such a success, jam-packed with family fun and activities:

“This wonderful show wouldn’t happen without the help and support of so many people. A huge thank you to those who have worked so hard in the lead up to the show, during the show and beyond.
