DENBIGH, Clarendon — This year, for the first time ever, Carry Osbourne was at the Denbigh show as a farmer.

“I normally visit to observe the show and see what’s new in agricultural science and enjoy myself like an excursion. But now because I’ve gotten involved in farming and I wanted to see more on the inside of the bigger picture, I took the opportunity to be a part of the farmer’s market,” she told the Jamaica Observer.

She quit her job as a teacher to become a farmer and her son has joined her.

“He is supposed to be going to UTech to complete his degree in computer science but he has put that on pause for a little bit to do farming because it is really putting money into his pocket,” Osbourne said.

From Hermitage in St Andrew, she was among thousands from across the country who showed up for day two of the 68th staging of the Denbigh Agricultural, Industrial and Food Show in Clarendon on Sunday. The show is back with a bang after a two-year pause because of restrictions to curb the spread of COVID-19.

The booths were enticing, showcasing everything from massage therapy, banking, natural juices, and — of course — food.

As the adults showed off their prized produce, got farming tips or did some much needed business, children enjoyed petting the animals, climbing the kiddie-friendly rock wall, going on a guided tour of a fire truck or trying their hands at guiding a remote controlled robot to learn the basics about robotics.

The event is expected to attract 60,000 patrons. There was a noticeable uptick in the numbers Sunday afternoon, as music lovers turned out for the gospel extravaganza.

Denbigh ends tomorrow with Reggae Fest.
