The Balmoral Show ‘Fill Your Boots’ competition sponsored by Hillmount Garden Centre and 3T Power took place on Wednesday 11th May showcasing “Boots fit for a Queen” in recognition of the Queens Platinum Jubilee.
On the day, the Royal Ulster Agricultural Society (RUAS) President Christine Adams had the difficult task of judging the competition.
