LISMORE’S first agricultural show in 78 years was hailed a success on Saturday, and organisers promise a second one next year.
Farmers on the Isle of Lismore, which means ‘great garden’ in Gaelic, held their last show in 1938 when, depending on who you ask, it was ended by the Second World War or by an argument. ‘There was a fight last time,’ explained Anne Morton, a visitor to the island since childhood. ‘That’s why they stopped it – or that’s the story anyway.’
