Held on Saturday, October 24, and Sunday, October 25, the show marked a special milestone, celebrating its 125th anniversary.
From cattle and sheep displays to horse riding, farm machinery and trucks, there was plenty to see and do.
Sideshow Alley kept the excitement going, with carnival rides, games and a tempting selection of showgrounds favourites, including ice-cream, slushies and chips on a stick.
The show also featured Dinkum Dinosaurs and the Colonial Clydesdales, while artwork created by local school students showcased the talents of young people in the community.
Cobram Show president Meg Brooks said the turnout had been “really good”, with plenty of young families enjoying the variety of attractions on offer.
“There was a heap of young kids, which is good to see, and a good variety of stuff to do — cattle, sheep, horses, the train and the carnival rides,” she said.
Ms Brooks, who is in her first year as president after being involved with the Cobram Show committee for the past two years, said she was enjoying the role.
She also encouraged more community members to get involved in helping organise the annual show.
“If you want to get involved, get involved, put your hand up and be a part of the committee,” she said.
“All our committee are really supportive.”
