It takes an army of keen volunteers to get an agricultural show off the ground these days, which explains the weekend's success at Glen Innes where more than 100 good Samaritans turned out in force to make sure things ran smoothly.
Lions Club members sat at the gates for eight hours shifts while more than 50 individuals were on the roster in the canteen.
The Land couldn't get to all the events but did manage to take a peak at stud cattle and British bred meat sheep competitions.
