With magnificent weather everyone had a wonderful, family-friends day despite the dry surroundings.
Support for the Show was outstanding with record entries in the yard dog trials, horse rings, cattle, sheep and poultry sections.
The draught horse competition was well supported with great encouragement from the crowd as with the dog high jump.
The Ute Show 'n' Shine had 19 entries and the barrel racing with utes and bikes was lots of fun. This year's inaugural demonstration of the lawn mower racing was an eye-opener for many.
The pavilion looked a treat with the three school displays looking magnificent. The photo wall was bumper to bumper with amazing photos of many spectacular dust storms. There were great entries in the cooking, art and craft, and flower sections.
Thank you to those farmers who managed to supply hay, grain, fruit, vegetables, and wool for a full pavilion showcasing our amazing district.
The gate takings were well up on 2018 which proves Eugowra hosts a great little Show which is largely due to the dedication and hard work of the committee and many volunteers and all who contribute either as a volunteer, entrant or visitor.
