From its humble beginnings
in 1952, the Hague Show has been a significant feature for show-goers as
the event serves to showcase a sample of products and bi -products from
the Parish of Trelawny and its surrounding areas. This event has
consistently been a part of Trelawny's entertainment calendar on the
Ash Wednesday weekend each year.
It is
interesting to note that in the late 1960's to 1970's the Hague Show came
to be acknowledged as the biggest and best Cattle Show in not only Jamaica
but throughout the Caribbean and Central America. It was the trading ground
for cattle breeders. That is the foundation and legacy to which we are apart.
Nevertheless the Hague Show promoters did not concentrate on cattle alone,
but also on farm produce exhibits, as well as handicraft and cottage
industry products.
The Hague
Agricultural Show not only gives the farmers of Trelawny an opportunity
to showcase their produce but also clearly demonstrates the collaboration
and support of agriculture by corporate agencies and non-government
organizations.
At present,
the Hague Agricultural Show have numerous attractions such as
K9 competition, livestock judging and presentation, branch competitions
and crowning of the Trelawny Farm Queen competition. |
