The stage is being prepared for one of the busiest and most important weekends in the Island's farming calendar.
The Southern Agricultural Show opens to the public from 10am tomorrow (Saturday), at Great Meadow near Castletown.
For the farming community the main event will be the judging of the livestock competition and the awarding of the supreme championship prize.
Captain of the Parish of Arbory Raymond Gawne says it should be one of the best attended shows in recent years, with the organisers struggling to fit in all the trade stands:
Opul House to close next month following recent inspections
Vehicle fire closes the Mountain Road
