Moree Show Society secretary Karen Munn said the funds will go towards the running cost and keep of the show, which is now in its 135^th year, to keep it accessible to all Moree Plains residents.

"The Moree Show supports relationships in the community by bringing people together, and provides an outlet for families to connect at an entertaining and enjoyable event," she said.

"With the drought and dry times severely affecting our community and the region as a whole, we try to engage as many people as possible by inviting the whole community to participate through entering competitions and visiting educational exhibits."

This year's show will see all the family favourites returning, including the Rooftop Express, Battle of the Aggies Tug of War Challenge, Gill Bros. Rodeo, Farmer's Challenge, ute barrel races, horse events, showgirl competition, the pet show and much more.

"Everyone in the Show Society has put in an enormous effort to help showcase the best of rural living; including local produce, livestock, arts, crafts and cooking," Mrs Munn said.

"The Moree Show Society is very grateful to the Moree Plains Shire Council for its continued support."
