Organisers are expecting more than 500 commercial exhibits and estimate the event will inject $1 million into the local economy.
“The Field Days is more than a rural trade show,” says event manager Mr Kim Williams.
“The community have built the field days into the ultimate family outing, with lifestyle and produce exhibitors, fast rides, aero-bounce, baby animals, wine tastings, tractor pulls, equestrian and shearing demonstrations, gadgets, antique displays, and this year we introduce a huge family entertainment program on the oval and Village Green," Mrs Williams said.
Tickets are $15 for adults, $10 concession cards and students, and $5 for 12-16yrs, and children under 12yrs have free entry when accompanied by a paying adult.
The event takes place at the Murrumbateman Recreation Ground, Barton Highway and gates open from 9am-5pm Saturday and 9am-4pm Sunday.
