This year will see a new format for the Keith County Show as it moves its event to the first weekend in August.
The two-day event has previously been run on a Sunday and Monday but committee members voted to run the event over a weekend for the first time in many years.
It will take place on Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 August at the showground on the edge of the town.
Keith Show moves to a weekend event
The Sunday will remain the family day, while Saturday will become the new Monday for all livestock classes.
Judges have just recently been announced for the beef cattle and sheep sections.
Husband and wife duo Robert and Hazel McNee from Over Finlarg, Tealing, will be tasked with judging the overall championships, with Robert heading up the cattle and Hazel in the sheep.
A ladies day will also take place on Saturday, 29 July in the Keith Show marquee from 2pm to 8pm.
