The Guyra district hosts a memorable 1954 show marking recovery from drought with top class stud cattle and horse displays. Junior Farmers enter 255 contests while cattle awards honor stud masters and volunteers who rallied the community to sustain the event.
Machinery and farm implements attracted many visitors with several new displays. F Garde Wilson and Son of Armidale showcased items from Specialties Pty Ltd of Liverpool, including a trailer mounted welder driven from a tractor power takeoff. A trans-seed fertiliser box by Grasslams appeared, along with Prowse automatic gates and a steel framed farm building model.
The Guyra show notes praise for president T A Everett and secretary A A Mackenzie with treasurer Clvt Starr and Howard Moffatt steering the arena program. Richard White and Bruce Winn led exhibition duties, while Harold Stare’s public address kept crowds informed. A late windfall rain disrupted plans but the show proceeded with bands, ambulances, and lively contests, including horse and cattle events.
