Crowds this year were blessed with great weather across all three days of the show.
Glen Innes Show Society President Andrew Hancock said he was pleased with the crowds that attended this year's event.
"Our show is all about people and volunteers and we have the best grounds," he said.
"People just love to come to our show, we have plenty of shade, the facilities are top and that is what makes our show a success.”
The main ring provided patrons with a full program of day and night action.
Highlights of the weekend included the rooftop express’s Dave Manchon who showed great feats of horsemanship.
"We brought the noise, the best we had to impress the crowd, and it went off," he said.
This year’s fireworks display left young and not so young gasping with delight as the skies above the town were lit up in a kaleidoscope of colours.
The gourmet fiesta continues to be a hit with show goers and celebrity chef Sophie Hansen cooked up a storm.
"I was so excited to be in Glen Innes and I was so pleased to show locals how to cook simple food without too many tricks," she said.
Local petrol heads didn’t miss out either with the demolition derby attracting a large field of entries, and a car parade featuring some of the region’s best Ute’s keeping rev heads satisfied throughout the weekend.
The Miss Teen Showgirl and Miss Showgirl competitions were highly competitive with Miss Teen Showgirl won by Emily Burton and Miss Showgirl by Tamara Ferguson.
