Your numerous photos gave me a chance to see the diversity of what's shown at Ekka. <br />I don't think we have a real equivalent in France, apart from 10-day the salon de l'agriculture in Paris where the best in crop and cattle is shown every year, but to tell you the truth I've never been there.Nathalie H.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16806509041466785588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-385127495391454105.post-60337952196014496242016-08-13T20:42:58.725-07:002016-08-13T20:42:58.725-07:00Such a wonderful show and your photos are fantasti...Such a wonderful show and your photos are fantastic.

I feel as though I have just had my own private tour just a shame I couldn't taste those hotdogs (the one on the right for me) and that amazing icecream!<br />Horses are such characters who ever would have thought it preferred an Aldi liquorice! They could make an advert!<br />Thank you for your delightful post and have a wonderful Wednesday :)Prunella Pepperpothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16933999009764009722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-385127495391454105.post-29234583510857573512016-08-09T07:41:12.162-07:002016-08-09T07:41:12.162-07:00How fun!

Our daughter plans to take a day off from work to bring the two granddaughters so that maybe we can avoid the weekend crowds. It will be hot at our fair, though!
