Overview
The 3-day Pembrokeshire Agricultural Societyβs annual show takes place at the county showground in Haverfordwest. This film record of the event kicks off with a ram in a pen and a girl in a pram getting acquainted, shows a traction engine and fairground organ drawing a crowd, and closes with an Indian dancer and her shadow. The unknown film-maker was possibly a member of Haverfordwest Cine Society, as indicated by another film in this collection.
