A young woman with great potential, Emily Jane Joyce was named Milton Showgirl 2018. The 23-year-old has been involved with the show for 10 years, so the honour was fitting.
Blessed with great weather, the show itself was a dazzling success, with 8000 people through the gates. No wonder it’s been called the happiest show ever.

Catch you next week.
