8.05am: There are quite a few Riverina residents off to or already at the Sydney Royal Easter Show - and they're raking in the awards.

Griffith's Barbara Goldman had entries in a whopping 26 categories, and definitely brought home the bacon in her 34th year of entering.

The Hay War Memorial High School ag team came home with a swag of sashes, but they left three of their sheep behind to be visited by the royals.

Doug Millward from Wagga's princess parrot was named a show champion, but that wasn't the only sash he collected from sending seven of his finest birds to the event.

Kelvin Cronk from Old Junee will be recognised at the prestigious Parade of Champions at this year’s Sydney Royal Easter Show.
