Echuca-Moama and District Agricultural Show Society organisers are ready for a weekend of action, busily setting up for the family-friendly festivities.

Sideshows, food trucks and showbags operators have made their way to the grounds, travelling far and wide for the occasion.

For the first time, a Christmas tree decorating competition is also stationed in the pavilion awaiting judging.

Showmen’s Guild of Australasia committee member Paul Watkins has attended many editions of the Echuca-Moama show and is confident this weekend will be another successful iteration.

“It’s going to be a great show like always,” he said.

“This is a heritage business, and it’s been passed on from generation to generation.

“We’ve been coming here for years.”
