One of the most highly anticipated country shows is returning to a village near Newtown this weekend.
Dolfor Show and Sports is set to bring fun for the whole family on Saturday, August 3, from 1pm starting with the dog show.
The carnival starts at 2pm which will be judged by president Helen Griffiths at the show field next to the village hall by kind permission of J.T.Lewis & Co.
A star feature of the show is the fun and unpredictable ‘Meat the Chef’ cooking demonstration by Welsh Farm Organics' Jonathan Rees which is Dolfor’s answer to Ready, Steady, Cook.

There is plenty to do for children including the kiddies’ fun races which follow the carnival with plenty of chances to win prize money.
As always, the bouncy castle is free, and back again by popular demand is ‘Animal Encounters’, giving all ages the chance to hold an exotic animal such as a python, iguana or tarantula and also something cuddlier like a rabbit or chinchilla.
A parade around the main ring of original and restored vintage machinery will take place at 3pm.
The barbecue starts serving at 5pm followed by ‘It’s a Knockout’ from 5.30pm. The tea tent will be serving food and drinks throughout the day and there is a licenced bar.
Dolfor YFC is running various stalls, games and selling sweets and ice creams. Team entries for the football competition need to be sorted on the show day.
The young farmers club is also hosting a tractor run on Sunday, August 4, which will leave the Dolfor Show field from 1pm then travel through Kerry at 1.20pm and Sarn at around 3.30pm.
All sheep are to be penned by 1pm, and all entries to be in the produce tent between 12pm and 1pm.
A spokesperson for Dolfor Show and Sports said: "The show committee would like to thank everyone who has helped and contributed to make the show possible.
"We are grateful to the many stewards who help and assist us leading up to and during the show day.
"A big thank you to all of our judges, and also many thanks to all of our show sponsors. Without the help and assistance of you all, the show would not take place."
This year there is the chance for trade stands to have a pitch on the show field, for more details email us at dolforshow@gmail.com.
