Year after year, local businesses add plenty of character to the show and in the case of Bathurst Mowerland and Heating, a presence at the show has become somewhat of a tradition.
"We've been coming to the show for about 20-odd years and it's a great way for us to engage with the wider community," Bathurst Mowerland and Heating owner David Morris said.
"Through our presence at the show, we are able to expand the reach of our business to a variety of audiences."
Bathurst Mowerland and Heating has partnered their display with Geelong-based business Pivot Stove and Heating, who pride themselves on the sale of vintage Esse stoves.

"We've set up all the stoves so that people can try them out for themselves and see what they think," Pivot Stove and Heating proprietor Greg Parker-Hill said.
"It's not just about selling, it's about letting the community know that we exist and are here to support them."
Mr Morris said the presence of local business is important in ensuring the success of the show.
"If local businesses didn't support the show, there'd be no show," he said.
