Over the past week we’ve been busy getting everything ready for the Carnwath Show, and what a fantastic event it turned out to be!
Our job was to fully wire the main marquee, including installing all the sockets, running every cable safely and neatly (if we do say so ourselves 😉), hanging all the lighting, fitting external security lighting, organising delivery of the generator and getting everything connected up and running.
On Saturday we were in and out throughout the day making sure the generator and all the electrics were running smoothly, and thankfully everything went exactly to plan.
We also managed to take the kids along for a few hours to enjoy the show. They loved the children’s rides, seeing all the sheep, cows and horses, having a look around the poultry tent, picking up some beautiful handmade crafts from the craft tent, and of course our son was fascinated by all the agricultural machinery! Also had some delicious chips from one of the catering vans.
While checking on the generator, we even caught a glimpse of the famous Pie, Beer & Shear competition, which was brilliant entertainment!
A huge well done to everyone involved in organising such a fantastic event. It was great to play a part in making it happen.
Safe to say we had such a good time that we completely forgot to take any photos! 😂 Sometimes that’s the sign of a great day.
Next year we’re definitely planning ahead, booking the babysitters, and spending the whole day (and evening!) there child-free so we can enjoy everything the show has to offer… including making good use of the bar! 🍻
