While there's been a few changes, different faces and new additions over the years, Morongla Show Committee Member Kylie Wood said the Morongla Show remains true to tradition.
"I think over the years the committee's done really well to keep it relevant but at the same time, being really true to the traditional values of the show," she said.
"They've been really careful not to go forward and make it too commercial and something it's not. It is, and quintessential country show gets bandied all the time, but it really is a country show.
"The kids can run around all day, you don't spend a million dollars, it's just a really good value country show and I think that's what kept it going as long as it has."
Head Steward of the Horse Events, Jacqui Langfield, said there has been plenty of support in the lead up to Monday, including donations of $100 for the 100th show.
"It's incredible, I know for the horse section we had over $2000 of sponsored prizes just people wanting to support the 100 years including close to $300 in donations from people in New Zealand, as well as prizes sent over from New Zealand," she said.
"We've got [people from] Queensland, Victoria, Western Australia all donated money just to help the 100 years because it's just such a fantastic thing for any show to hit 100 years."
Vice President of the Pavilion Committee, Barbara Rocavert, said her family has been involved for many years but it's exciting to see her kids and grandchildren get excited about the show.

"I've got my family come over from Perth, they loved it so much last year, the children did, doing all the activities, they had to book it before Christmas to come here," she said.
"We've got my family from Newcastle and one of the boys from Sydney and they've all come for the Morongla Show because it's 100 years.
My mum and dad [Jim and Myrtle Wright], dad's 90, mum's 88, they've been involved with the show all those years.
"It's so exciting."
