STUNNING weather helped attract thousands of people to Ballybeggan on Sunday for the annual Kingdom County Fair.

Conditions couldn’t have been better for everything on the day with a host of family entertainment as well as the usual competitions around the venue.

While businesses and competitors were there from early morning, visitors started streaming in from noon and there was so much to enjoy.

The dog show was a big hit as always while Mark Doe of Just Cooking gave demos throughout the afternoon.

The Kingdom Party Pals entertained the small ones along with loads of activities and amusements. There was an Irish dancing display, donkey derby, Tug-O-War, blacksmith, sheaf tossing and vintage machinery.

There was plenty of hot food for sale as well as Home Crafts, Homebaking and Horticulture competitions.

Of course, the Fair is one of the county’s landmark events to showcase the best that Kerry and beyond has to offer in terms of livestock i.e cattle – dairy and beef. Meanwhile, the highlight of the day for many was the show jumping.

An amazing day then and let’s hope the weather stays as fine for next year’s event. Scroll down for photos…
