The event, estimated to draw 60,000 people to the local region, was declared a success and there was a big emphasis on showcasing innovation in agriculture and rural achievers.

From working dogs, to fashion parades and reptile demonstrations the offerings at Henty were diverse. And if you wanted to see local faces many of the 500 volunteers were from the local eastern Riverina region.

The popular Henty Natural Fibre Fashion awards was won by Pat Meehan of Albury.

The navy hand felted overcoat earned the claim of supreme garment and was modeled by Billabong High School student Maddie Mohr, 16 of Holbrook.

The Greater Hume Council's initiative of recognising the Australian Machine of the Year Award focuses on products which are built here.

The award was won by brothers Kaiden and Dallas Boyd of West Wyalong with their CRF SUPA Bin 42000 grouper bin.

Meanwhile, the working dog competition was won by Dean Incher of Adaminaby and his Kelpie Rafa.

The pair accumulated 192 points in the final. The win qualifies Rafa for the 2020 NSW Yard Dog Championships.

The trial drew 200 entries and was one of the highlights of the field days with crowds gathering to watch the action.

Murray Valley Championships coordinator Neale Taylor of Holbrook, said the Henty Machinery Field Days had been supportive of the dog trials.

"It is good for the region and is the biggest event where we can showcase the NSW Yard Dogs Association," he said.

"We are aiming to have an interstate challenge at Henty between Victoria, NSW, South Australia and Tasmania."

Throughout the three-day event visitors were drawn to working displays and educational exhibits. Talks on reptile awareness were popular and there was also a focus on mental health.
