Narromine became the country music capital of Australia on the long weekend with sell-out crowds watching and listening to polished performers at the USMC Club for the 10th Annual 'Dusty Boots' Awards.

Entertainer and organiser Mal Norton said he was excited to see so many people in Narromine for the ever-growing three-day event.

''I am on a high with busloads of tourists putting money into the local economy and the artists coming from as far as Queensland to entertain the folks for 3 days," Mr Norton said.

''I came home to Dubbo and was in tears showing the awards to my dear old dad who these awards are named after.

"I held up the awards to the photo of my dad and said 'we did it'.''

The 'Dusty Boots' are made from old boxes and turned into plaques and he got the idea from fellow popular muso Dixie Jenkins.

The awards were shunned in Dubbo but Narromine doyen Bob Walsh, known for his community and rugby league work and his many years with the Narromine United Services Memorial Club, said ''bring it here and people will love it."

''It was an immediate success with some of the best trade we have had for years.," Mr Walsh said.

Country music icon Jean Stafford won the 'Mal Norton Keeping the Dream Alive Award'.

''She is known as 'The Queen of Country Music' and has won awards here and United States, born in a tiny town in Tasmania she is still an inspiration to us fellow bushies.''

Veteran country music performer Johnny Mac who, like Stafford, has won an Order of Australia Medal also came to Narromine.

''Johnny has played with Judith Durham, Keith Potger and Athol Guy from the Seekers and also with Johnny Cash and Jim Reeves, bringing back fantastic memories to the crowds and not bad at 93.''

Mal says country music will be back at Narromine in 2026.

"I reckon we will do it for four days next year, thank you Narromine.''
