Patrons’ Message As the Society prepares for the 2019 show we remember the men and women of the Mount Larcom area who had the foresight in 1919 to start an Agricultural Show – so this year is 100 years since that historical event, the years in between have not been easy, and for several years a show was not held owing to WW1 and the Depression of the 30’s, but this year will be the 80th year a show has been held. We commend those early pioneers for the work they put in to establish this show. I know it would not have been easy and it does not seem to be getting any easier, so I congratulate the present Committee for their efforts in staging the 2019 Show.
