The action began early on Friday morning with horse events and showjumping before the pavilions opened at 12pm.
There's some amazing talent on display in the pavilions, with a large number of entries in everything from photography to baked goods, local produce to art and craft, from Moree residents young and old.
Families made the most of the quieter day, getting in early on Friday to avoid the crowds and queues on the rides, while many people enjoyed taking their time viewing the entries on show in the pavilions.
