Along with rides and amusements, this year’s attractions included horse competitions (including a qualifying event for the Harness Racing NSW Off The Track series for standardbreds), trotters and mini-trotters, go-karts, speedway bike demonstrations both days, and a demolition derby and fireworks on Saturday night.

Other traditional events, such as the handicraft, cooking and schools’ fruit and vegetable competitions, were cancelled due to a lack of volunteers.

Anyone who would like to volunteer at next year’s show should call the showground office on 4990 1181.
