More than 7000 people came through the showground gates from Friday to Sunday.
The show boasted a jam-packed entertainment schedule and a strong showcase from our region's beef and poultry farmers.
Highlights included the demolition derby, a performance from country music star Christie Lamb and the pavilion exhibits.
Moss Vale Show secretary Hayley Rennie said the success of this year's show was the result of a strong community effort.
"We just want to thank the sponsors, entrants and patrons for their support. We wouldn't have a show without them," she said.
"We'd welcome those who want to get involved. We're always looking for more helpers.
"Essentially we work all year round to keep [Moss Vale Showground] open."
There were also several milestones achieved at this year's show.
For the first time in 10 years, there were two demolition derbies on Saturday night due to strong entry numbers.
There was also triple the amount of art competition entries at this year's show than in the past.
The show society also honoured the hard work of Max and Phyllis Parker, who have been involved in the show for decades.
Mrs Parker has exhibited at the show for more than 90 years.
Ms Rennie said the show attracted a strong contingent of locals and visitors from outside of the region.
"I think it's a good way for people to get back to their roots," she said.
"You have people who don't live here and comeback to the show with their children and show where they are as a kid.
"It's a nice family thing and it's also a good thing for the newcomers."
