Over €26,000 in prizes and 200 classes at 64th Arva Agricultural Show on Sunday

On Sunday, July 30, the committee will host their 64th Annual Show on the Arva Show Field.

With a number of changes made to the over 200 classes, including the new All-Ireland Best Dairy Bred Beef Animal, kindly sponsored by Lakeland Dairies, there is plenty of choice for people looking to enter in either the Livestock or Home Industries Section.

The committee hopes to see a large number of entries this year in the Vegetable and Baking Sections, with more and more people baking and growing their own produce.

While it is a great opportunity to see Award-Winning Animals, there is also an abundance of Baking, Flowers and Vegetables on show.

In recent years the entries for the Photography Section and also the Dog Show have
grown immensely. Entries will be taken at the Dog Ring for the Dog Show from 12pm on the day of the show.

The ‘Bonny Baby’ competition and the Most Appropriately Dressed Lady and Gent are entered in good spirit.

This year the Show will have a massive LED Outdoor Big Screen (16ft x 9ft) which will show the All-Ireland Football Final of Kerry vs Dublin at 3:30pm, with full audio, so you won't miss a moment of the action!

Special attractions on the day include Sheep Dog Demonstrations and wonderful local musicians along with Scoil Rince Tir Conaill.

There will be a FREE kids play area with bouncy castles & face painting, fun attractions and a variety of trade stands and local small enterprises.
