Koorawatha Show president Howard Duffy is very excited for the 72nd year of the event, which is a fantastic opportunity to showcase the village and all that it has to offer.
"There's going to be the normal Show things, the dog trials, the horse show, there's the working dog trials with the sheep and those sort of events," Howard said.
"There's going to be the Reptile Man as well, who is very, very popular, especially when you come from the city and you wouldn't know a good snake from a bad snake.
"There's also going to be the Cobb and Co Stage Coach and that's free for the kids, so they can just jump on that and go around as many times as they like."
The committee is still finalising the numbers of stall holders as well as other amusements for the crowds throughout the day.
"The cars are coming, there's a car club from Young and we're trying to get ahold of some more," Howard said.
"We're trying to get ahold of the Grenfell one as well."

"We're trying to keep it as cost effective as possible for families," he said.
"We do understand the cost of living and things have gone up and it is hard out there.
