Organisers are counting down to the start of the Royal Manx Agricultural Show.
The event, which takes place at Staward Farm in Sulby on Friday and Saturday (August 13 and 14), is the largest gathering of the year of members of the Island's farming community.
As usual, there will be all sorts of entertainment and displays of livestock, and many charities and local organisations will be showing off their work.
