Great to hear that prestigous event is in Gore next year. Well done.
I’m sure everyone in the Gore community will get in behind this venture.I’m sure the council will really support this venture.
It’s great to see the rural community acknowledging the fact there are intellectual elements in agriculture.
Despite what some people might say, farming is changing with new ideas.
