IT'S 176th Stanhope Show this weekend and we have been looking through the archives for photos from shows past.
See if you recognise anyone in the pictures.
Why not tell us your recollections of shows you have been to?
You can leave a message at the foot of the story.
This year's event takes place on Saturday and Sunday, September 9 and 10.
The show's organisers say: "The Annual Stanhope Show is County Durham’s premier agricultural show.
"A traditional Dales agricultural show where visitors can browse a wonderful display of the finest livestock, produce and crafts that the Durham Dales have to offer. The show is held on the second weekend in September in the picturesque surrounds of Unthank Park."
