With well over 125 exhibitors, there was plenty to keep the crowds occupied at the Richmond Racecourse.

Field days president Will Guy said the town had put on two days of beautiful weather for the event.

"Due to the floods, we've opened the event up and just letting people in so we don't know how many people we attracted yesterday, but it looked amazing," he said.

"The response from exhibitors has been great; after the floods we were a little bit worried, but we didn't need to be. It's been really good."

Mr Guy said highlight of this year's event was the Rabobank truck providing coffee and a meeting area for people to chat.

"The lawnmower derby is always hilarious and then of course we have the races this afternoon which is a great way to finish," Mr Guy said.
