A menacing-looking sky wasn’t enough to deter thousands from pouring through the gates for the 145th edition at the Orange Showgrounds.
As well as the dedication of the Naylor Pavilion, presenters from Better Homes and Gardens were on hand to officially start the show after the grand parade.
“What is here at this show, is what we have on our show every Friday night,” presenter Johanna Griggs said.
“The great thing about two days here is we’re just meeting people, just really interesting people.”
Ms Griggs said the Better Homes and Gardens segment would feature not only the show but the region as a whole, with her fellow presenters showcasing different parts of the city.
During the official ceremony, Orange Show Society president Peter Naylor presented the Willing Worker award to Button Dunn.
Mr Naylor said Ms Dunn spent decades volunteering for the show.
