Published to mark the 150th Great Yorkshire Show in July 2008, this book is a celebration of a unique institution. 'Great' in every sense of the word, the Show captures the essence of Yorkshire by providing the perfect arena for farming and rural life as well as an unforgettable day out for the family. At the same time an agricultural showcase, a national sporting arena and a hive of technology, it manages to educate, entertain, display and demonstrate on a 1,001 subjects - and still keep a few surprises round the corner.This lavishly illustrated book draws on the archives of the Yorkshire Agricultural Society and the "Yorkshire Post" to portray the Show in all its infinite variety and colour, ranging from sheep shearing to the 'pig of the year' and from heavy horses to champion bulls. A diverse range of other subjects includes show jumping, gundog displays, cheese-making - and even chainsaw carving! Leading personalities associated with the Show describe in their own words what this very special annual event means to them.The numerous royal visits to the Great Yorkshire receive full attention, and appropriately the foreword has been written by the Show's patron, HRH The Prince of Wales.
