New additions to the schedule include a tug of war, with teams of five set to compete for cash prizes donated from the Scottsdale Football Club.

Scottsdale Show committee member Sally Kershaw said the event was open to anyone.

“The only requirement for teams is that they have at least one female,” she said.

“We thought it would be a nice addition to this year’s entertainment, and it’s great to have the support of the football club.”

There is more than one way to take in this year’s festivities, with the Flinders Island Aviation helicopter set to offer rides to those who prefer an aerial view.

Scottsdale Show acting secretary Maria Branch said there was no shortage on the ground.

“Our homecraft, art and craft and photography is worth a look as it showcases all the talented cooks, artists and photographers in the North-East,” she said.
