"This year's 'Country Energy;' Nyngan Ag Expo was up 50 exhibitors on last year, more people came through the gate and it was great to see everybody. The grounds were in fantastic condition, alive and abuzz with excitement thanks to a brilliant day with a great crowd, many successful exhibits and continued support from our enthusiastic sponsors" said Terry Tremain, Chair of the Expo.

"With an increased number of exhibitors across the majority of interest areas, the agriculture section alone was filled with more cattle, sheep, machinery and farming industry businesses. Next year we hope the Expo will attract additional businesses from across the region for the benefit of everyone within our rural community."

"Congratulations to the committee, they have done a marvellous job!" said Steven Chase of Waitara Angus Stud.

Peter Halliwell, Regional General Manager, North Western Division of Country Energy said "It is great to see how it has grown year to year with this year being the biggest. It just goes to show the strength of the community spirit across the wider district."

"As a key sponsor I'd like to thank the organising committee who have done an outstanding job retaining and promoting the Expo spirit, and to exhibitors who have done such wonderful work to set up. We are looking forward to next year!"

Councillor Rex Wilson, Mayor of the Warren Shire Council said "This event is beginning to reach into the area of Gunnedah, Mudgee and Orange Field Days! It is nice to attend something like this close to home. Congratulations to the Bogan Shire on being able to provide such great facilities for such a day."

Cr Lillian Brady, Mayor of the Cobar Shire Council said "A brilliant day with commendations to the organisation for bringing so many councils and parts of the Shire together. We can only look forward to the event getting bigger and bigger. It was a great day."

Cr Dawn Collins, Mayor of the Narromine Shire Council said "This is my first visit to the "Country Energy" Nyngan Ag Expo and I have been very impressed with the amount of exhibitors. What a great opportunity to catch up with people and I believe it will continue to grow."
