Michelle McManus to perform at show near Glasgow
The agricultural show will celebrate the landmark occasion on Saturday, May 3.
Those coming along can expect lots of family fun, as well as performances by local bands, choirs and singer Michelle McManus.
The National Highland Cattle Show will be hosted as part of the day, with lots of highland cattle exhibitors from across Scotland expected to come along.
A spokesperson for the organisers said: 'We will have lots of cattle, sheep, horses and dogs at the show for all the classes.
'The working sheepdog trials, a very popular competition, has contestants coming from all over Scotland to compete
'We will have a wide range of trade stands and craft stalls, kids rides and a beer tent.
'It really will be a fun family day out for everyone."
In a routine not to be missed, motorbike stunt artist Dangerous Steve will be performing two acts as the main ring attraction.
Among the bands and choirs set to perform throughout the day are Neilston Community Choir, Barrhead Brass Band and Neilston Pipe Band.
Singer Michelle, who rose to fame after winning Pop Idol, is said to be 'very excited' to be part of the show's celebrations.
"As a special surprise we also have Michelle McManus performing on the stage," added the spokesperson.
'She is looking forward to sharing this moment with her children who love coming along the show."
The celebrations, however, will not end there.
A grand parade will see the pipe band and local primary children and dance academy children walk from Neilston swimming pool to the show field.
The children will then participate in the school sport competitions and perform a dance in the main ring.
There will also be an open tug of war competition and a raffle with £500 prize, as well as many more to be won.
Lots of fun things to learn and see will also be on offer in the educational dome.
'We were awarded the Queen's Voluntary Award in 2020, and the educational dome was a big part of the show gaining this award,' explained the spokesperson.
'In the kids tent we will have free face painting, colouring in and balloon modelling for all kids at the show.
'We will have a scarecrow competition which is free for the public to enter, get creative with the kids and make a scarecrow to see if you can win the prize money for best scarecrow.'
