The Stroud Show will be up and running again in 2022.
One of the top 20 Agricultural shows in NSW, the event is set to run over three days in the run-up to ANZAC Day.
Stroud Show Association President James Harris says he is proud of the committee's efforts to make the show even bigger than in 2021.
"It's a win-win-win there, for the farmers getting to showcase what they produce and since the drought's broken 18 months ago, it's been a fantastic season for everything," Mr Harris said.
While COVID-19 has presented challenges to many other agricultural shows in the area, the Stroud show was one of 40 able to be staged in 2021.
With restrictions easing, it is hoped that the show can surpass the records set in 2021.
Mr. Harris believes that with the current conversation surrounding mental health, it is his opinion that people just want to get involved with the community.
"We find so many people just come to the show to interact, to be part of the event and be with people and for the town to socialize," Mr Harris said.
Family Day passes cost $40, which Mr. Harris says you can't get anywhere else.
Not only does it give farmers and the community the opportunity to come together, but it comes as relief for the farmers of Stroud and beyond, who have dealt with drought, bushfires and the pandemic within the last three years alone.
