Eggleston Show
Upper Teesdale Churches Together (UTCT) were, once again, at the heart of this year's show - and in spite of it turning into what everyone agreed was the wettest show in recent years, we still enjoyed lots of interest from show visitors (having a canopy to shelter under was a big attraction!)
Taking the parable of 'the lost sheep' as our theme, youngsters (and some not so young!) were invited to make a sheep to add to our flock in the fold while hundreds of lovely, home-baked, sheep-shaped biscuits - each accompanied by the "I am the Good Shepherd" text - were handed out to passers by.
"The weather may have been less than kind but it certainly didn't dampen our spirits," said UTCT chair Mary Howard."Eggleston Show attracts an audience from far beyond our dale so it was good to show our churches playing their part in the life of the communities we serve."
Among our visitors was the local MP for Bishop Auckland Sam Rushworth, still nursing his broken leg, seen here with the Rev John Howard.
