Allen Valley news
THE weather turned out to be pretty good all weekend for the agricultural show and the beer and bands festival. Everyone seemed to have a pleasant time. It was really nice to see more livestock than in recent years. I can tell any worried onlookers that the little girl who was dragged along the race track by a big chocolate labrador dog, sustained only a very minor injury and was successfully treated with ice cream! Thanks to all of the extremely hard working organisers of both events – it was a smashing weekend.
