Rainbow theme for ag show, back-to
‘Rainbow over Natimuk’ will be the theme for 150th Back to Natimuk celebrations that coincide with Natimuk Agricultural and Pastoral Society’s 13th grand annual show.
The theme refers to Natimuk as a ‘pot of gold’.
The Back to Natimuk event is on March 25, 26 and 27 and occurs every 25 years as a combined celebration with the show.
Show secretary Judith Bysouth said the event was all-inclusive.
“It encourages people to reconnect to build a brighter and stronger community that fosters resilience and community health,” she said.
“Combined celebrations are shaping up nicely. A Saturday street parade on March 26 will assemble at the old railway yards at 9am and move off at 10am to music and finish at the end of Jory Street.”
Mrs Bysouth said groups or individuals had invitations to register interest with parade organiser Katie Little on 0457 569 115 or email katie.little@ iluka.com.
“Be sure to register for the parade if you are intending to participate. We’re encouraging anyone planning to attend the show to make it a diary date now,” she said.
“There will be early-bird ‘Rainbow’ tickets available and a mystery prize for lucky early-bird ticket holders.
“People can get an early ticket or have show-related questions answered by calling 0429 328 600.”
Mrs Bysouth said people could call Back to Natimuk committee trustee Keith Lockwood on 5387 1457 if they had any queries relating to the back-to celebration.
She added the society continued to raise money in an effort to buy Victrack land on the south side of Natimuk Showground.
Mrs Bysouth said the society was $20,000 short of money needed and had launched an online Gofundme page.
