A number of entries from the local area were put forward for the competition after being successful at the Deniliquin Show in March.
As a result, five locals took away first placings in eight different categories - Linda Maher, Lyn Rose, Richard Walker and junior entrants Izzy Pearn and Alice Petersen.
A number of minor placings were also awarded to the entrants representing the Deniliquin Show Society.
