"Both Friday and Sunday was also just as wonderful despite the Malanda mist.
"We believe this is our largest show to date with over ten thousand patrons passing through our gates."
Ms Stokes said the competition was fierce across all twenty sections of the show.
"We thank all the exhibitors for taking the time to either craft and create or training and clean there entries so that patrons could enjoy the displays," she said.
"It truly is a huge effort from absolutely every exhibitor, and we thank each and every one.
