IT WAS the changing of the guard at the Warwick Show last night with the announcement of the winner of the 2018 Miss Warwick Showgirl quest.
In front of a large crowd during the opening of the show, Sarah Wilson was crowned Miss Warwick Showgirl for 2018.
Grace Cheal was named rural ambassador for 2018.
All weekend the girls have been out and about around the show, presenting ribbons and prizes to competition winners.
Warwick Show and Rodeo Society secretary Clancy McGahan said the Friday night crowd and ring events had been excellent.
"James Lister did a wonderful job opening the show and the fireworks were sensational," she said.
"As were the two demolition derbies, which the crowd loved."
Also held last night was a civic reception in the Douglas Feez Pavilion for the visiting Cameroon Commonwealth Games team.
"They stayed for about 30 minutes before they had to take off for a team meeting,"Mrs McGahan said.
"They were lovely people, very friendly and enjoyed a taste of the show."
Also big crowd-pleasers from the Friday night program where the junior bike races, the mutton busters and the ball drop, with dozens of kids getting involved.
The action continues tonight with the show rodeo.
