On Wednesday the 21th of September 2016 we went to the 85th National Ploughing Championships which took place at Screggan, Tullamore, Co. Offaly. The National Ploughing Championships is Europe´s largest outdoor exhibition and agricultural trade show.
We left school at 7.00 am and we arrived around 9.00 am. When we got off the bus there was a large number of people waiting to enter the show area. When we got inside I was surprise at the scale of the exhibition. There was a lot of roadways between all the trade stands and exhibitors.
My friends and I went from one place to another. We saw a lot of different breeds of cattle and sheep- My favourite was the cattle, especially the red ones- we saw tractors, we saw ploughing, we got lots of free food and we took photos of everything including ourselves.
At midday we went to the fairground where we went on some rides. After we had lunch we continued watching exhibitors until it was time for us to leave. I was so tired from all the walking I did that day.
I really recommend this trip for anyone, even if you are not from a farming background.
The Ploughing Championship´s Day was an amazing day. I had so much fun with my friends. I´m never going to forget this day.
