Grantown Show bows to pandemic
As expected, the organisers of Grantown Show have announced the cancellation of August's 2020 spectacular.
This morning (Monday, April 27) Scott Pirie, president of Strathspey Farmers Club, asked the Strathy to pass on a message to all friends and supporters of the hugely popular event:
"Due to the Covid-19 crisis, and following government guidelines the Grantown Show Committee have made the decision to cancel this year's Grantown Show.
"It's a disappointing time for all involved from spectators and exhibitors, trade partners and committee members. However, in the interest of everyone's health we have decided to adhere to government guidelines & current advice.
"The committee and I would like to thank everyone who gives their time to such a great show that continues to thrive year on year .
"A huge amount of effort goes into putting on our show and this will continue to ensure that in 2021's show is back to its best.
"In the meantime, all trade stands, judges, and exhibitors will be contacted accordingly."
Mr Pirie passed on his extended thanks to all who help with the show and support the event, advising: "Stay safe, stay well, stay positive."
