We are talking about flower and vegetable shows and there have been so many great ones in the area.
The great news is, Shields Gazette photographers preserved memories of them on camera and we can share them with you once more.
So whether you were showing flowers at Temple Park or admiring the award-winning blooms in Jarrow, we have it all.
Take a look and then get in touch with your own memories.
