Going for gold with medals up for grabs at ‘Ag Olympics’

THE sheer scale of Tullamore Show next Sunday reveals why it is aptly hailed as the country’s “Ag Olympics”.

But the AIB National Livestock Show, a central feature of the event, is also being given an Olympics-style touch, with a gold medal presented to each of the 42 livestock champions and a silver to every runner up.

The medals decision by the show organisers and the bank will add to the overall prestige of the country’s biggest one-day agricultural show.
