"We have been fortunate to receive good grant money from the NSW Government and our Council, it is being widely used," Mr Larsen said.
"Improvements are being implemented in our horse, sheep and cattle sections which will be a great help to exhibitors, stewards and onlookers."
Mr Larsen said youth participation is a real feature of the show with several young people going on to Royal Show events following their efforts at Cootamundra.
An attraction sure to prove popular with the kids will be the Scouts Climbing Wall.
