The annual Talgarreg vintage show took place on Sunday 13 September, whilst the weather was not kind with rain showers for most of the day it did not deter exhibitors from attending, writes Gary Jones.
With various exhibits turning up early on the field from as far as Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire onlookers were treated with some fine machinery, tractors and cars from yesteryear as well as stationery oil engines.
A working display with a thrashing machine coupled up with a Jones Cub Baler was a big highlight of the afternoon with a big lineup of spectators looking on as the men showed how the threshing machine and the baler worked all them years ago.
A working field down the bottom of the show had some tractors and tracked caterpillars doing some ploughing again with a good crowd of people looking on.
As the show drew a close the prize giving took place for the winners in various categories with the tractors and machinery as well as the engine section to the applause of the crowd that had gathered to watch, the horticultural section was again a big hit with the marquee full of exhibits from fruit and veg to walking sticks to a photography section.
The Talgarreg vintage committee had pulled out all the stops on an easy going local village show that seems to be growing every year.
