The above list was from memory, sorry if I've missed anyone. Penistone Footpath Runners also ran their annual showday 10 kilometre race.
Penistone Council made a sterling effort with a model layout of Penistone, complete with little buildings. Hours of preparation must have gone into it. Local people pinned little labels on to give some input about which plans they would prefer their local taxes to be spent on. Then, the little kids moved the flags around. The best laid plans of mice and men... etc.

Blacksmith's display of making, then fitting, horseshoes to the very accommodating and placid poppo.
Drystone walling demonstration. Also the well-equipped NHS paramedic helicopter. |

| A ladies choir demonstrating their very varied repertoire and skills. Their good efforts were marred at one point by the above helicopter doing maneouvres above their marquee. Father Time, their conductor, said that it was slightly off-key. In the same marquee, the trio with wind instruments were also very skillful and entertaining. No, she isn't having a funny turn, it was taken during that millisecond when the performer was taking breath. |

| Quite a lot of equine quadrupeds at the Show. A great deal of care and attention goes into these events. There were some very elegant animals and riders. RHS - Steam machines such as these, and larger ones such as were used to power Yorkshire mills and factories, can be seen at nearby Wortley Forge. |

| So many things to see and try at Penistone Show. Archery training in this country used to be a legal requirement for all males above a particular age. |

Some real old timers in this section - and their vehicles. There were tractors, motorbikes, trucks and cars. It is always worth visiting Penistone Show to see these lovingly restored vehicles.
The two trucks shown on the left are of particular local interest. Renovator Neil Whitmore, put the old Wm. Gittus's name on his 1938 Albion truck. William Gittus was a local firm which built and repaired railway wagons from 1900 to around the mid 1960s and employed up to 300 people. Neil is just about to climb into his Green 1954 Albion truck with 'Penistone Pure Malt Vinegar Co.' on the door. Penistone vinegar was sold nationwide under many different labels, including Sarson's. |
