Schoolchildren around Fermanagh have been written poems and essays about farming and living in the countryside.

In the special schools section sponsored by Erne Insurance and the Vaughan Trust, pupils at schools were asked to design the front cover of the Show catalogue featuring a bull's head and there was a class titled, "The Fermanagh farmer as a caretaker of the countryside."

The winning entries were displayed in the Exhibition Hall of the Ulster Farmers' Mart during the two days of the Show.
