The show was last held in 2019, which was during one of the worst droughts in memory, a contrast to what is around the area now.

For the first time ever, the Yeoval Show will be holding fireworks. Those attending can enter a raffle to have the opportunity to set them off and Ms Cantrell said it was a great addition to the show.

"It was suggested by the fireworks people. They will also have the opportunity to push an old-fashioned blasting box, if you think about all cartoons when the push the handle," she said.

"It goes bang. That's what we are using, a 100 year old blasting box which will create a big lot of fire then they will start the fireworks proper."

The Yeoval Show will also be free entry for all those wishing to attend and Ms Cantrell outlined the reasons as to why this was decision was made.

"We have received a couple of government grants and we thought we would put it back in the community by giving them a free gate," she said.

"Also, [it will] get them through a little quicker. They all have to sign in anyway because of COVID so it's just to make that step a little easier."

The show will be sure to attract visitors from near and far making the journey to the town for the event.

Other spectacles that will be held throughout the day include wood chopping, dog high jump, tug-o-war and a Cherokee dance group.

There are 14 sections to this year's show ranging from horses and wool through to art and photography.

Most of the events can be entered with small fee and those wishing to find more information can locate it on the society's Facebook page.

The gate is expected to open at 6:30am for exhibits and 8:30am to the public.
