Penistone Show - Pic spam

[panik]

The Penistone Show - church on the 'Pen' (high place) in the background.



The sort of thing the people of Penistone will get up to unless physically restrained.



Simply enormous leeks! - Really, there's nothing on the pic to show the scale nut honestly...
eye-wateringly huge.



More enormous vegetables.




Russian Dolls.



Huge tartan dildo - This is an actual cactus and quite possibly the most
disturbing thing I've ever seen.



For Snailbones.



And again... I bought lots of these. (o:



For Blair... (o:



I'm as confused as you are.



Guess the weight competition. Heh heh. Only joking. A little insurance, in case the
natives cut up rough during the cake-judging.



Hilary's wine - takes first prize and the trophy.

Shana tova, everyone.

lot of phallic symbols there in the beginning... you know the cactus, Russian dolls, carrots, leeks... indeed...

That cactus is really disturbing - it looks like an alien. And 'stick making'?? I love how they have a very large sign proudly announcing it though!

That has got to be some really weird North African Cactus. I've never seen anything resembling it in the US or Central America. It DOES look like it's made of tartan. I thought it was a cloth cactus until you said it was real. Wow!

What a very cool show that was! Thanks so very much for sharing your pics with us!

So, just how many pounds of olives DID you buy? *g*

Oh, I *love* this! I'll never forget my first trip to England in 1978, visiting my elderly cousin in West Hoathly (near East Grinstead) and going to the South of England Fair with her. She showed us the entry by her Ladies' Group, or Club, or something *g*, and nearly had a fit because one of the ladies had cut up her plums *all wrong* for the canning! It was a terrible situation!! (I'm having a bit of fun here with my poor old cousin.) Really, she went on about it for hours.

Those leeks! What a vichyssoise I could make with them!

Thank you so much for posting these! It looks like agricultural shows are the same the world over!

Oh yum - have I died and gone to heaven? You'd never have got me away from the cheese and olives *g*

Great pics thanks - I love country shows... but no goat tunnel? Ah well... there were stick makers instead... Stick makers???? Hey - I could do that, yes I could ::whole new career opens up before me::

This looked like a lot of fun. Have never been to show even remotely like it. Only seen it on TV. Glad you had a good time. And yeah, that cactus phallic symbol looked way disturbing to me, too.
