For those looking for a little more action, 'people power' will be a highlight of the Show with the woodchopping and shearing competitions set to be hotly contested with entrants travelling from across the region to find out who is the quickest. The Young Farmers Challenge and Junior Young Farmers Challenge will also be fantastic to watch with men and women, boys and girls, battling it out through a range of tasks including fencing, carting hay, fire fighting, and more, to see which teams will take home the 2024 titles.
The Beaut Ute competition is sure to get some engines running with some amazing categories to enter including Best B&S Ute, Best Chicks Ute, Best Themed Ute, and crowd favourite Best Classic or Vintage Ute.
