We are helping with a display for the show in the summer and the theme is dairying 50 years ago. It is astonishing how many little dairy farms have gone when you start counting, but we were thinking of iconic items from 1967 that could be put on the stand. Space is not a problem, so I thought a neighbour's restored Dexta with a centipede or box full of churns, as a big exhibit, and a mini parlour to show the old milking set up. We were wondering whether anyone had any suggestions of iconic objects to take members of the public back to their idyllic childhoods. The modern politics and problems in the industry are being dealt with by present day dairying folks, so we are really thinking of nostalgia for our end.
