The Campbelltown Show ended last year so now was the perfect time for Campbelltown people to witness the ``Camden country tradition'', both show society presidents said.

``It's very unfortunate the Campbelltown Show had to fold up last year through a number of problems,'' Camden Show Society president David Head said.

``We feel very sorry for Campbelltown but we'd like to encourage anyone who used to love the Campbelltown Show to come over and see us we're still putting on a good show.''

Former Campbelltown Show Society president John Leary echoed Mr Head's statements.

``Camden is one of the best shows in the state,'' Mr Leary said. ``It's got everything, it's got country but it also has a wide range of entertainment it's always been a good show.''

The event on March 19 and 20 is expected to attract about 30,000 people and feature everything from livestock and dancing to fireworks and arts and crafts.
