Spectators were treated to some fantastic entertainment, with music from Sam Martin and an array of local musicians.
Show secretary Gerry Gill was happy to see crowds come out and support the small country show, impressed with numbers through the gates.
"It was a great turnout for a little show like ours, I'd say it was one of our larger shows in regard to patronage. I would say over 1500 paying patrons came through, then you've got the competitors on top of that.
"The wood-chop was very popular as it often is, as well as the kids challenge," Mr Gill said

The dog jump was also fan favourite with a whopping 2400mm jump from Crackernut taking out the top place, bettering its winning jump off 2100mm at last weeks Royal Pambula Show.
Mr Gill praised the work of volunteers, some 100 strong, for making the show a possibility.
"We haven't got a lot of area to work with so we have to squeeze a lot into a small space.
"Volunteers are the only way we can get a show like this up and running. We have to do things on the cheap for the show to keep going and the hard work of volunteers make a massive difference," he said.
