YOUNG farmers are planning to show the public what they are made of, with a new event in North Yorkshire this summer.

The Yorkshire Federation of Young Farmers' Clubs will hold its first county show on Sunday, June 1, at the Nidderdale Showground, Pateley Bridge.

During the show, the 51 clubs in the county will compete for trophies in events such as stock judging, an obstacle race, a tug-of-war and, more unusually, salsa dancing. Other attractions will include a live display by a horse whisperer, a dog race, and two displays by the Thorpe Perrow falcons. The award-winning Summerbridge and Dacre Silver Prize Band will provide musical entertainment. There will also be a pre-show dance at the ground on Friday, May 30, including a hog roast supper. Tickets are £9 and can be booked on 01423 865870.
