According to the president Leesa Stratford, there was a "record crowd" with more than 5000 people through the gates on Friday and Saturday.
This did not include the line-up of exhibitors at the showground over the two-day event.
"We were bursting at the seams. We had a great show overall and every section was fantastic," Ms Stratford said.
Highlights of the show included the pavilion exhibits, the demolition derby and the fireworks. Another highlight was the "outstanding" numbers in the dairy exhibition, with more than 100 entries.
"Given the current climate with the drought, milk prices and the hardships the dairy industry is going through, this shows what resilient and wonderful people they are," she said.
"It’s not a cheap thing to come to a show. For them to show their support, we’re humbled by it."
Ms Stratford said volunteers, sponsors and exhibitors made the show what it was.
"I can’t thank the volunteers our sponsors and exhibitors. We’re so grateful to have the support," she said.
This year also marked 50 years of the Australian Championship Potato Races.
On Saturday, the winners of the women's potato race received the same amount of prize money as the men's potato race.
This came after a GoFundMe page was created by former Robertson resident Melanie Tait to create equal funding last year.
Women's race sponsor McKillop Property Robertson increased its sponsorship amount to match the prize money of the men’s race for this year's event.
