00:00We're here at Horsehay Village Hall and a bit of a special event. What's happening guys?
00:04Well it's the Horsehay Horticultural Society annual flower, vegetable and craft show.
00:10Cool, so what can people expect to see then when they come here?
00:14Well we have quite a number of entries for flower arrangements.
00:18Lots of different crafts, photography, vegetables and fruit and flowers obviously.
00:24And it's a competition as well isn't it? There's judging as winners to be had yeah?
00:28Yep, so there's prizes, trophies that we've been handing out, some of them for as much as about 40 years.
00:35Wow.
00:36The show's been going on for a long time.
00:38Always here at the Village Hall?
00:40Yes, because it was originally the conception of the Horsehay Works and this was the canteen.
00:46I think it was always here as part of the factory and then they opened it up in the 50s to the local community as well.
00:55And as you've been walking around, any particular favourite things you've seen between you?
01:00The daftest thing is someone's entered a cactus in that category and it's in the I am Groot vase.
01:11So that was quite amusing.
01:13But there's been some fabulous flower arrangements, some, well, over a dozen I think cucumbers and so many apples this year.
01:23Absolutely fabulous.
01:25What about you, any particular favourites?
01:27We've got a lot of children entries, I love seeing the animals and characters made out of fruit and veg.
01:35And the gardeners in the trays, the children's imagination, we want to try and encourage as many children as possible.
01:43Well thank you folks, we'll have a good look around, thank you.
01:47Liam isn't it?
