The 29th Rotherham Show took place on 6 & 7 September 2007. The weather was wet,wet, wet. Fortunately the council had laid down quantities of straw so walking around was not quite as bad as we'd expected, though I think some sections were cancelled. However plenty of people braved the rain though I don't think that the crowds were as high as they have been in previous years.
In 2008 the attractions included:-
Varied entertainment in the Main Arena including clown shows, dog team displays,
falconry displays and more.
