RORY PRAISES ‘FANTASTIC’ PENRITH SHOW

Rory has congratulated and thanked all those involved in this year’s show, which organisers believe to be a record year, with over 10,000 attendees turning out to enjoy over 1000 livestock entries. The local MP held a stall at the show, and invited constituents to talk about local and national concerns, before touring the show throughout the afternoon to talk with exhibitors and stall holders.

Rory said: ” It’s a real privilege to be Vice-President of Penrith Show, and to be able to attend and show my support for such a fantastic event. The glorious weather did the show justice, and ensured everyone could enjoy fully the most wonderful array of local produce, trade stalls, amusements, and of course the incredible display of livestock, which remain at the heart of this hugely important Cumbrian tradition. Many thanks to everyone who worked so hard to make the show a success, and it is really great to see so many local Cumbrians coming out to enjoy themselves and support our rural economy.”
