The directors of Tockwith Show have proposed to cancel next year's event after five long-standing volunteers stepped down.
The agricultural show, which began in 1945, showcases a variety of livestock, horses and horticulture.
Organisers are now appealing for new people to take over a number of roles.
Current chair Georgina Watson, who is one of those stepping down, said:
The directors feel the break would allow time for more people to join the committee, as well as the chance to make any necessary changes to the show.
Locals will be able to vote on the proposal at the show's annual general meeting - which will take place next month.
Ms Watson added:
Those attending the meeting will also be able to put themselves forward for any of the vacant roles, which include chair, secretary, main show ring steward, show direct and chair of the fundraising committee.
One of the directors, Mike Best, said:
The meeting will be held in Long Marston Village Hall on Wednesday, November 15 at 8.15pm.
Anyone is welcome to attend and those that would like more information can email Mike Best on mike@bestmedia.co.uk
