Community play their part in successful Seahouses Village Show

This year’s Seahouses Village Show was a big success, with more than 100 exhibitors providing nearly 500 exhibits.

Taking place at The Hub in Seahouses, a different venue this year, organisers were pleased to see the large number of children enthusiastically taking part.

The winners included Jimmy Johnson, who won Best Exhibit in both the vegetable and flower sections, and Sienna Robinson (created animal using fruit or vegetable in the 8-11 year category) with her eye-catching exhibit of a ginger root camel.

A Seahouses Village Show spokesperson said: “Our guest to present the prizes was Maureen Curnow, who was one of the original people who donated trophies for the show’s first beginnings in the early 1980s and is continuing her community spirit as a member of the choir.

“The standard of exhibits was particularly high, with some exquisite quilting and knitted articles, and there was a big increase in the paintings on showing local talent.

“Seahouses Village Voices were back with a resounding performance, the auction was great fun with lots of friendly competition in the bidding and The Pot Shed in the car park offered a variety of free flower pots.”
