The Cheshire County Show (or simply Cheshire Show) is a big county agricultural show currently held on two days in June each year on land west of Flittogate Lane in the Tabley area in Cheshire, England. The show is organised by the Cheshire Agricultural Society, and marked its 175th anniversary in 2013 with 80,000 visitors expected. ==History== The Cheshire Agricultural Society was founded in 1838 by Stapleton Cotton, 1st Viscount Combermere and fellow Cheshire landowners, with the stated mission "To promote agriculture and encourage the industrious and moral habits of the labouring portion of the community."〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=20 June 2014 )〕 The society organised exhibitions and competitions for farms to participate in. The Cheshire Show was first held at the Roodee in Chester in 1893.〔 It amalgamated with the Chester Show in 1904 and returned to the Roodee for the next 50 years. The show had outgrown the Roodee by 1955, and relocated to Hooton Park near Ellesmere Port in the years that followed. The show began to struggle by the 1970s, but was revived in mid-Cheshire in 1977 after three years of not being held. After several years at Tatton Park, the show moved to its current Tabley showground in 1990. In 2001, the show was cancelled for only the second time in its history due to the national outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease that affected nearby Little Leigh. The show attracts Royal involvement, with Princess Anne becoming the first Lady President of the show in 1999.〔 She reprised her role for the 2013 show, and visited the showground on the second day.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cheshire County Show」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
