Farmers and their families are invited to come together for a special Farmers Night Out at the Moyhu Hotel on Thursday, 18 September from 5.30pm.
The free community event includes dinner and a presentation by Warren Davies – The Unbreakable Farmer - who will share his powerful story of resilience and the importance of mental wellbeing in farming communities.
Hosted by the Rural City of Wangaratta and the Wangaratta Livestock Exchange, the evening is an opportunity to take a break from the farm, enjoy a meal and connect with others who understand the unique challenges of rural life.
“Farming life is rewarding, but it can also be isolating,” said rural city deputy mayor Harvey Benton.
“This night is about coming together, having a laugh and spending time with mates and neighbours.”
