SHOWERS and overcast skies did little to put off the crowds who poured into Kilnsey Show, north of Skipton.
The marquees may were a little more crowded than last year as people escaped Tuesday's rain, and waterproof ponchos, boots and umbrellas were much in evidence as the ground in some places turned to mud.
But, spirits remained very high at the premier agricultural show of the Yorkshire Dales, everything went ahead as planned, and the high numbers of cattle were more than content on their straw beds undercover in their cosy marquee.
Chris Windle, show chairman, said: "It was fine in the morning and everything went ahead; people enjoyed themselves and have said it was a cracking show; it did rain a bit, but we're in Yorkshire."
The crowds gathered with great enthusiasm around the sheep pens under the shadow of Kilnsey Crag to watch the judging, while cattle judging was just as popular.
Showjumping, showing and gymkhana games took place in the main arena, with the action in close up on a large screen, which was also used to great effect with the crag races.
Stallholders included Wharfedale RUFC and the team's fundraising hotdog stall, and Upper Wharfedale Fell Rescue.
