Donal O'Regan, 24 Aug
WHERE else could you get a new job, buy a tractor, keep the children
entertained for free, see the best cattle and horses in the country,
attend a fashion show, enjoy live music and dancing, and lots more in
the one place?
Up to 15,000 visitors, 1,000 competitors and 150 trade exhibitors will
descend on the racecourse this Sunday, August 25 to experience the AMCS
Limerick Show, which aims to bring the people of the city and county
together.
From the careers village to the catwalk to the Kids Zone to the
sustainability marquee and AgTech Hub, there is something for
everyone. The HSE is even providing a vaccination clinic for measles.
This is on top of an indoor and outdoor retail village, artisan food
stalls, arts and crafts, photography, baking and horticulture
exhibits.
You can leave the car at home as the show provides a complimentary bus
from the city to and from the showgrounds, departing from the Gaelic
Grounds at 11am/1pm, Parkway Shopping Centre at 11.30am/1.30pm and
Crescent Shopping Centre at 12pm/2pm. Return journeys commence from
3pm.

entertain them in the Kids Zone, sponsored by O Sullivan's Centra,
