The 100th Sunbury Agricultural Show was a delight for the thousands of attendees who made their way to Clarke Oval on Saturday.
While some of the events had been called off due to the rain, including the relocated horse competitions, the rest of the festivities were a huge success.
Show secretary Anne Beaty said the day was fantastic, and the first-time evening component, which included an incredible fireworks display, thrilled onlookers.
“Going into the nighttime was really popular with people… when the fire works went off at 8.55pm for five minutes, it was absolutely fabulous,“ she said.
“I’d go as far as to say as they were better than the Melbourne Royal Show ones.
“We’ve had a lot of positive comments on Facebook, we’re really really happy.“
With animals, rides, treats, performances and displays, the decision to allow children aged 14 and under to enter for free made all the difference to the numbers.
“After some pretty horrible weather setting up we had a really lovely sunny day,“ Ms Beaty said.
