Minister for Dubbo, Dugald Saunders MP called the grants a 'huge boost' for communities hit hard by the drought.
"People in our electorate are hurting," Mr Saunders said.
"Country shows have always been part of the social fabric in our communities, and to be able to keep these shows going this year will be a huge benefit to the local community, both as a moral boost as well as an economic boost."
