More than 400 people filed through the gates for the annual south west event with plenty of competition on the equestrian field.

Koroit Agricultural Show treasurer-secretary Lynette Watson commended the district’s schools for their enthusastic involvement in the Saturday event.

“It was an action-packed weekend with events in Dunkeld and Woodford, so we did pretty well considering,” she said. “The schools really went all out for us this year and the standard of school art entries was very strong.

“The entries in the needlework and cookery competitions was also impressive, very impressive.”
