There were fears that attendance might be down at this year’s Easter Show as cost-of-living pressures bite. But that was not the case when the gates opened this morning.

00:00More than 50,000 people turned out for day one of the show.
00:06It's a tradition now, we do this every year, we bring them on their first day,
00:10actually take a day off school.
00:12Excited, get to get lots of show bags.
00:15Kind of excited, but I'm just a little bit nervous.
00:20All the scary rides.
00:22It takes weeks to transform the city show ground into a taste of the bush.
00:27And give you an idea of where the clothes come from on your back,
00:31where that meal is coming from, where the hot chips have come from.
00:34There's plenty of kidding around, but also some serious judging.
00:40These competitors are among the smallest of the animals eyeing off a win.
00:45Away from the ribbons, the hip pocket was front of mind.
00:49A bit costly to be honest, just because we're kind of young and like we don't earn that much.
00:54So it's free rides between 10 to 2 which works out well.
00:58For $40 you can't go wrong.
01:00This year more than 80 show bags come in under $10
01:03and organisers say they put pressure on the vendors to keep prices down.
01:08You can spend $5 if you want to and support regional NSW country shows.
01:12Get a sausage sizzle and add a water.
01:15Or you can go into the dome and buy lobster and champagne.
01:18We've got it all covered.
01:19Well it's the city's chance to get up close and personal with animals that have come in from farmers right across the state to make the show what it is.
01:26No rest for the wicked for the next 12 days.
01:30I'll see you in the next 12 days.
01:39I'll see you in the next 12 days.
01:40I'll see you in the next 12 days.
