This year the Lochs Agricultural Show will take place on Saturday 26th July at Balallan Show ground. This year the Show will be opened by Radio Scotland's Leslie Riddoch. The Committee would like to encourage all residents young and old to come along and enjoy a fantastic day out. The Committee would also like to encourage as many as possible to enter in one if not all of the Sections this year in order to maintain the usual exceptionally high standards for the Lochs area. This year some of the Sections are slightly different and we would advise that you check your Class details before entering your exhibit.
