| May 10th -
12th saw three days of glorious sunshine where
visitors to the Balmoral Show were able to
view at first hand the cream of Ulster's horses,
ponies, sheep, goats, pigs, poultry, eggs,
rabbits and cattle. |
| If that wasn't
enough to keep the crowds entertained, children
of all ages were also invited to make and
launch their own space rocket at Armagh Planetarium's
stand. Paper, scissors, colouring pencils,
sticky tape, creativity and enthusiasm were
rife as dozens of budding young engineers
designed their own space rockets. The children
used air pressure as the fuel to project the
rockets into the sky (or to be more exact…the
roof of the Balmoral Hall). All rockets were
released by pressing the red launch button
after the countdown 5… 4… 3... 2…1...go! |
