The event featured exhibitors ranging from farm machinery, light industrial equipment, motor vehicles and motor bikes, irrigation equipment and water tanks to information on the latest pest and weed control, fertilisers and chemicals.

Arts and crafts, patchwork, lavender products and gardening products, were popular, along with demonstrations on weaving and leatherworking.

The entrance fees from the event were donated to local CFA brigades.
