On Friday, March 8, riders and audience members attended the Kyabram Showgrounds to enjoy a night of rodeo events, good food and drink, and a late-night performance by the Iain Archibald Band.

“It was a massive night, huge crowd,” AH&P Society secretary Janelle McDonald said.

“The animals performed outrageously, the bar was busy all night, and the band was popular.”

The News photographer Megan Fisher went along to the event to capture the fun.
