From period dress, stage coaches and side-saddle riding to a talent quest, chainsaw racing and motocross riders, the 100th show was quite a party.
Organisers had spent months preparing for the historic event.
Opened by the show’s longest serving committee member John Higgins, the show featured a poetry contest, farmers’ challenge, boot throw, wood chop and fashion parade along with a visit by hundreds of local school children on Friday.
