Special Field Days souvenir

The 2019 Wimmera Machinery Field Days countdown has started, with the launch of this year’s official Field Days program and the publication of a 44-page Aglife feature in The Weekly Advertiser.

In partnership with The Weekly Advertiser, field days organisers are distributing thousands of copies of the program across the region, as The Weekly Advertiser reaches more than 22,000 homes and businesses.

The combination means people have an opportunity to get early and in-depth insight into this year’s special event.

Wimmera Machinery Field Days manager Murray Wilson said the official program had been an important Field Days tradition since 1963.

“It contains all the exhibitor listings as well as relevant details on all the products available on site,” he said.

“With more than 80 full-colour pages it includes plenty of information about all the special features and main attractions at the Field Days for this year.”

Mr Wilson said there were many long-term Field Days patrons who had proudly kept every edition of the program since inception.

“It acts as a take-home souvenir of this important agricultural event,” he said.

The Weekly Advertiser editor Dean Lawson said today’s special Field Days edition of the monthly Aglife feature also explored the event’s various attractions and presentations.

“Our paper’s Aglife feature is attracting a loyal following and we’ve made a concerted effort to provide our readers with insight into what makes these few days in March such a culturally significant occasion,” he said.

The 57th annual Wimmera Machinery Field Days will be on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of next week at Wimmera Events Centre, Longerenong.
