Neighbourhood Watch Secretary Bruce Adams said the expo had provided guests with a lot of useful information about home safety and security.
The annual event had product demonstrations of items including cameras, lights, locks and safes, home security and safety tips, actions plans, practical advice as well as talks by local emergency service personnel.
Members of Police, Rural Fire Service and the Fire Brigade were in attendance during the day, with members from each service speaking on home security and safety tips.
Neighbourhood Watch President Lyn Ward said it was a great day that went well, with several people getting products to improve their home security.
Neighbourhood Watch is a community based, crime prevention organisation that aims to reduce localised crime and fear of crime.
They host their meetings on the first Wednesday of each month at 7pm at the Forbes Services Memorial Club.
Mrs Ward said meetings usually run until 8pm or 8:30pm and new members are always welcome to join and come along.
