Warm welcome
Welcome back to the Wimmera Machinery Field Days. It is fantastic to have everyone back again after two years – especially all our exhibitors, who are challenged by issues with staff and stock supply.
This year we are introducing our ‘Local Market Square’ – a new initiative to support small gourmet food and wine producers.
Thanks to 1089 3WM who are proud supporters of our Local Market Square.
Another area that we have worked on is the educational opportunity of the field days.
Once again Partners in Ag, with the support of WIM Resource, have developed fantastic programs targeted at different age levels for school children.
These programs are based on learning about agriculture and the career opportunities it presents.
We also have a range of attractions and new and different food vendors.
A new attraction for this year is Rev It Up Racing, a racing simulator, and the Level Up Gaming Chill Out Space.
We also have the Factory FMX boys returning, along with the Black Snake reptile show and wildlife zoo, helicopter rides, animal nursery, mini train rides and the children’s zone, which has moved to the sponsors’ pavilion.
George the Farmer will be in the auditorium on Wednesday, along with a varied lineup of speakers and shows for the three days.
A big thank you must go to all of our sponsors and supporters for 2023.
We have a large number of corporate partners and sponsors as well as our community groups and service providers whose support is paramount to the success of the field days.
And lastly, but by no means least, I need to acknowledge and thank the staff in the office for their dedication and commitment to the field days.
I couldn’t have done it without you – what a fantastic team.
Please call into the office and meet the team while you are here.
Also, to Tim and the Wimmera Machinery Field Days committee – thank you for your support and the countless hours you volunteer to make the field days a success.
I hope you enjoy the 2023 Wimmera Machinery Field Days.
