About 3000 attended the Gore A&P Show, which featured rides and games, 90 trade stalls displaying their goods, and plenty of food and beverages to enjoy.
Equestrian events were held in the main arena, a mountainbiker wowed the audience jumping over daring competitors, and the final parade showed off the finest livestock and animals in the district.
Gore A&P Association president Martin Powley said he was "exceptionally happy’’ with how it went this year.
"Numbers are definitely up.
"The weather definitely makes a difference — couldn’t ask for better weather.’’
Mr Powley said the association made a few small changes to this year’s show, and it was paying dividends.
"Our beef and dairy cattle are up, great competition there.
"Sheep and lamb [are] always well participated in.
"We changed things up, there’s more people, tables where people can eat and watch.
"Just things we picked up from other shows.’’
Although he was happy with the turnout, it was important to bridge a generational gap moving forward.
"The older generation respond to it very well. It’s just about trying to get young people involved.
"But I’m exceptionally happy with the numbers, it’s been very good.’’
The success of the show came down to everyone who worked hard throughout the year to make the day fun for all, Mr Powley said.
"I’d like to thank my committee and everyone who helped to put it on.
"We go to meetings all through the year and brainstorm.
"It takes a lot of commitment.’’
