Three year-olds Casper Charlton and Rosie Maggs were happy to spend time on the rides at last weekend’s Port Fairy Show

Once again the annual show proved a huge success, with organisers saying they believe somewhere between 2,000 and 2,500 people went through the gate.

“It was a wonderful turnout on Saturday,” committee member Anita said.

“We were so lucky with the weather and given there were so many other events on around the region, we were thrilled with the crowd numbers.

“As always, the rides were very popular, with the Zapper having the longest wait line, while the car simulator and face painter were kept busy all day.”

Visitors spent time browsing the many displays, while the sheepdog trials, vintage engines, circus acts and high wire performance all caught the attention of showgoers of all ages.
