Held at the Numurkah Showgrounds on Wednesday, October 21, the annual event brought families and friends together for a day of entertainment.
Numurkah Show Society president Stu Cameron said the sunshine helped draw a good crowd.
“The highlight was just that it was a good family day with nice weather, everyone was out and about,” he said.
“The rides were big this year … it was packed through there. It was unreal.”
The animal nursery, cattle, horses, dogs and garden and craft pavilion also featured, although Mr Cameron said entries were down in some sections.
He said the decline was likely due to cost-of-living pressures, with cattle entries also affected by farmers being busy with their hay crop.
“The cost of fuel now to get here … tow a truck with a big trailer and it will cost you a bit of money,” he said.
Despite this, the dogs proved a popular attraction, with Mr Cameron estimating 300 to 400 dogs attended.
Mr Cameron said he hoped visitors had enjoyed the day and would return next year.
