NVI popped into the showground on Friday to check out the action on the ground and met plenty of happy show-goers in the sideshow alley, Griffiths Pavilion, animal nursery and on rides.

It was also a big day for horse riders, with a full schedule of events.

Tonight, the major winners of the art and photography sections will be announced and Gunnedah's showgirls will be sashed.
