It was all happening on Saturday at Glasgow Green, the annual show got off to a rather damp start but it didn't seem to dampen the spirits of the gathered masses.
I have covered thousands of similar things in my career so far but the ingenuity of the human race never ceases to amaze me.
There were phenomenal stunts on horses, motorbikes, one guy even set himself on fire and jumped from a platform for our entertainment while the compere announced "Don't try this at home".
The birds of prey were great to see but one of the handlers told me that one of them had got spooked and had taken to the trees. He told me that it had an electronic tag and could be detected and it would come back when it got hungry.
Up at the main stage, there was a Michael Jackson tribute act which drew in thousands of people and then I heard a another famous voice in the background. It was my old friend Mark Wylie. Now Mark has an amazing act consisting of highly trained stunt ducks
appropriately called "The Drakes of Hazard" who perform death defying stunts which leave can leave an audience speechless.
And finally, from a galaxy far, far, away, even Darth Vadar dropped in for a look.
All this for £4.00, a bargain.
