Richmond Field Days are back in action in 2021

The event runs over two days on June 11 and 12.

Since bookings opened in January, coordinator Kacie Lord and colleagues have worked tirelessly to stitch together an event program many predict will be grander than ever despite record exhibitor entries for the 2019 version.

"In 2019 it was an absolute cracker of a show," Mrs Lord said.

"I think we had something like 150 exhibitors, welcomed hundreds of people through the gates and raised over $6000 for the Royal Flying Doctor Service from donations.

"The response was so great it seemed as if people had some premonition the Field Days would not go ahead in 2020 and we have gone all out to make sure the 2021 show will be better.

"Visitors will see all that was there in 2019 but this time there will be more variety. There will be everything there from loaders to motorbikes to chainsaws that men and some women enjoy, right down to hats and anything else women would like such as plants for the garden and hats."

Last year's cancellation because of COVID-19 remains the only occasion when gates were shut on the Field Days event, Mrs Lord said.

"It's a big thing," she added. "It has been running for 35 years and the only thing that has stopped it was that nasty disease last year otherwise it has continued through the live export ban when the beef industry was on its knees, it has continued through any number of droughts and financial downturns.

"Keeping it going has been amazing effort by the various committees over the years and a big plus that drives it along is that so many people in this small community actually benefit from it, not just the accommodation people.

"George and Narelle Shaw run the bus service and that little bus of theirs goes backwards and forwards all day and most of the night and we pay them.

"A lot of the smaller community committees do the food, another couple is always doing the clean-up. We spread the income around the community."
