The show has been condensed from its usual three-day format to a ‘Super Saturday’ providing a feast of family entertainment.
Show senior vice president Jason Callaway said the entertainment would include Saturday night’s Rooftop Express arena spectacular with animals doing tricks on top of a truck.
Other entertainment will include whip cracking, stilt walking, wood chopping and fire juggling.
“People will get value for money,” Mr Callaway said.
Fierce competitive spirit in the shearing contests on Saturday will also be on display and a cattlemen’s bar has been erected at the rear of the shearing pavilion where adults can have a drink and enjoy the show atmosphere.
