In the August 2010 Newsletter, available in the shops on Saturday 31 July...

Big dark eyes, long graceful lashes, an elegant tapering nose and a patient expression of mild and gentle curiosity - oh, and all the milk you can drink - what´s not to like about cows, eh? And pigs and sheep too, for that matter. If you love everything agricultural and appreciate the finer points of a well groomed bovine bottom marching majestically around the show ring, come to the Kinross Show! August marks the 180th year of this venerable Kinross-shire institution, which is pretty impressive by any standards. There will be lots to see and do for both adults and children alike, and you can find all the details in this month´s issue of your Newsletter.

And speaking of children, August brings Family Week to Kinross once again, with an exciting programme of events for kids aged 3 to 16. This year, Family Week will be based at the Loch Leven Community Campus, and there´ll be loads of interesting and challenging things to do whilst getting to know Jesus in a fun-packed way. Find out more in your Newsletter - and pick up a copy early: this is the first week in August, and we wouldn´t want you to miss out!

There are fewer pages in your Newsletter this month as it´s the holiday season (which comes as something of a relief to the team after last month´s bumper issue), but that´s not to say you won´t find plenty to read and enjoy. There are lots of sport and community activities, and a full diary of events to keep us all going through these hazy summer days. Fingers crossed we get some sunshine - all the best from the Newsletter team - see you at the Kinross Show!
