The 98th Bribbaree Show was held last weekend with the village putting it's best foot forward and showcasing the region to over a thousand visitors.
Locals and visitors alike flocked to the Bribbaree Showground for a huge day which was jammed packed with entertainment and activities from the pedal tractor farm and face painting, right through to woodchopping, team yarding and plenty more.
A highlight of the day was the new event which was held in conjunction with Agricultural Shows NSW in memory of the late Tiger Hunter.
The well known horseman was recognised with the newly introduced Buddy Pickup event on Saturday afternoon, which has riders literally pick up their fellow competitor on horse back and race to the finish line.
Special guest on the day was the 2024 Sydney Royal Easter Show Young Woman Ambassador Domonique Wyse who soaked in the sights and sounds of the show, spending time speaking with locals, presenting awards and catching up with Young Show president Emma Godsell.
