Everything from art to cookery, craft to photography will be on display in the pavilion, with exhibitors from the very young to the very old.
For the show’s 140th year, the pavilion committee decided to introduce a new theme, this year going with ‘A Child’s Birthday Party’.
Pavilion committee treasurer Pam Ward said the pavilion this year was decorated as a child’s party with balloons and streamers.
She said a theme is developed each year and it is always popular with young entrants from primary schools, preschools and the after school children who enter their works.
The cookery section is also popular.
Visitors can look, but not touch (or eat) the delicacies on display which will include a range of cakes and edibles submitted by people of varying ages.
‘‘The cookery section is always well supported by the juniors, teenagers and adults,’’ Mrs Ward said.
‘‘We also have a men’s section with a chocolate cake which draws a few entries each year.
‘‘The rice section is well supported by juniors and adults.’’
Mrs Ward said the pavilion is popular each year with show patrons, and the standard of entries makes it a tough job for the judges.
‘‘The number of entries usually stays about the same each year, but we find the quality of workmanship continues to improve,’’ she said.
The pavilion will be open from today, with prize ribbons and cards displayed so visitors can see the winners.
