Hague Agricultural Show cancelled, disappointed farmers express understanding
Western Bureau: With farmers in western Jamaica still reeling from the devastating impact of Hurricane Melissa, which made landfall three months ago, a decision has been taken to cancel this year’s staging of the annual Hague Agricultural Show. The show, which is the premier agricultural event in Trelawny, is normally staged on Ash Wednesday, showcasing the best of the region’s farm produce and livestock against a backdrop of rich cultural features. This year’s cancellation is the second in six years, as it was also cancelled in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic.
