This year's country show promises a blend of traditional country heritage and modern excitement across two packed days.
To celebrate a community of history, the program features stellar night rides, a local talent showcase and a spectacular fireworks display.
Visitors can take in the best of regional agriculture through beef and dairy cattle competitions, horse events across multiple rings, a dairy goat show and poultry exhibits.
Saturday also features the ever-popular Ute Competition, while Sunday brings the Vintage Trucks and Motorbikes Show and Shine, celebrating classic club-plated vehicles from years gone by.
Nic Sweney, James Murphy, Chris Mathers, Amanda Murphy, Allan Mathers, Lily Taylor and Dakota Sweeney are ready for this weekend’s show.

Families can also take advantage of a one-day family pass — two adults and two children — for just $30, or a two-day family pass for $40.
Families will find plenty to do, with a petting zoo, pony rides, camel rides, carnival rides, cookie decorating courtesy of the Beechworth Bakery, and an energetic doughnut-eating competition.
