Welcome to the third and final day of the 2015 Launceston Show, and there was not a sad face was to be seen.
For some it was a day of firsts, like Ollie Crowe, 10, who went on a show ride for the first time.
For others it was another enjoyable day at work - like Nathan Mansell, of Hobart, who has been manning food and drink vans going on 20 years.
For patrons like Neisha Beames, 11, of Waverley, Chloe Fazackerley, 12, of Kings Meadows, and Tayla Foon, 12, of Waverley it was a day of choices, for instance how to spend their money well and which show bags to take home.
The excited girls had each carefully chosen their showbags for the big ticket items, such as the watermelon school bag in Girls Rule, the speakers in The Original Idiot Bag and the fluffy giraffe in Gag Magic Sampler.
''It has been really fun,'' Neisha said.
''I nearly had a heart attack on one of the rides - the Lethal Weapon - and had to go on it by myself.''
