Seymour Show
Rikkie-Lee TYRRELL (Northern Victoria) (10:01): My members statement today is dedicated to all of our constituents involved in the organisation and running of the local agricultural shows that our regional communities have each year. With the show season upon us, many communities are coming together to exhibit their homegrown produce and handcrafts and enjoy the friendly competition local shows offer. The local show is a highlight on any regional town’s annual calendar that offers community unity, enjoyment and a morale-boosting experience for all who attend. Just recently I had the honour of being a part of the official grand opening at the Seymour agricultural show with my children, and we enjoyed the festivities immensely. I would like to thank the committee for inviting me and for the wonderful tour the show’s president Anne Davidson provided on the day. I hope to see this great Australian tradition continue for many generations to come.
