Paula Hynes: The North's Bluetongue scare has given us a dose of the Winter Fair blues
Georgie Hynes competing at the Royal Ulster Winter Fair in December 2024.
Can you believe December is upon us already, and the festive season is looming? For some people, the festivities begin with the Christmas tree being decorated; for others, it is the trip to meet Santa, while for us ’tis the season to be jolly when we have had one last outing to a show.
Nothing says Christmas better than the Royal Ulster Winter Fair in Lisburn, where there is a truly magical atmosphere with spectators in party mode, top-class dairy showing and the organisers even throwing a show-eve dinner for all the competitors. It truly is one of our favourite shows of the year with superb facilities.
