Berwick Show committee president Warwick Glendenning said organisers were very pleased with attendance and with the behaviour of patrons.

"We had no incidents and everyone had a really good time.

"It was fantastic to again have the support from the Narre Warren police, who helped keep the event trouble-free and ensured there was a family-friendly atmosphere."

Mr Glendenning praised the efforts of hundreds of volunteers who helped make the show a success.

"From the committee's point of view - I am so pleased with all the work from the tireless volunteers. They are the ones who do all the hard work.

"We've also had fantastic support from the City of Casey and all our sponsors who have helped make this show, the 162nd, one of the best yet."

Traditional attractions such as sheep, cattle and goat judging or woodchopping were by no means overshadowed by the show's more modern aspects, which included performances from local singing and dancing groups, the beaut ute competition and the sideshow games and rides.

In the arts and crafts pavilion, the

best in a range of disciplines were on display, with everything from hand-sewn quilts and scrapbooking to pottery, Lego displays and art made from recycled materials.

The cookery competitions showed off the creativity of entrants with categories such as best-decorated cupcakes, edible necklace, homemade jam and Anzac biscuits.

Ladies from the Berwick Country Women's Association said there had been a wonderful turnout for this year's show and a strong level of entrants for the competitions.

Around the grounds, there were plenty of activities to suit the whole family. The largest crowds were seen for Samson the Monster Truck and the Empire FMX freestyle motorcross aerial shows on the main arena.

Casey district Scout groups tested the agility of show visitors young and old with their rope bridge and offered a host of free activities, which included crafts, badge making and woodwork.
