"It was another fantastic show. Well done to all of the community," he said.

Mr Brown said last weekend's show will be his last as president and it was good to go out on a high note.

This year, the Show introduced live dancing by local dance groups and music supplied by local musicians.

Mr Brown said this was well received, with almost all of the seating full for the live music and dancing shows across the weekend.

The Show also received strong numbers across the riding and campdraft events, Mr Brown said, with near record numbers across several events.

He also reported close to record numbers in the cattle events, record numbers of competitors in the woodchop and show jumping events.

Visitors to the show were able to watch some of the best shearers in Australia compete, alongside some Australian champions in the woodchop event.

The shearing competition was won by Daniel McIntyre.

The pavilion was well stocked and attended with a high level of arts and craft and wool on display, Mr Brown said.

"Everything was well received and well supported by the community of Glen Innes," he said.

With COVID restrictions eased and good weather, Mr Brown said the weekend turned out well and in favour of the organisers.

Coming up next for the Show Society is the Spring Show Jumping in October, followed by the December Campdraft / Rodeo.
