Dederang to host agriculture expo on Friday

FARMERS, agribusinesses and rural community members are invited to enjoy A Little Bit of Relief Agriculture Expo at Dederang on Friday, with mental health advocate Warren Davies (The Unbreakable Farmer) to be keynote speaker. Due to forecast heavy rain, the free event at the Dederang Recreation Reserve was postponed to support the local farming communities, with the expo to feature agricultural industry services, farm safety demonstrations and business and health support, amongst other stalls and speakers. Beyond Blue ambassador, Brad McEwan, will be the master of ceremonies and the event will feature a speech from Mr Davies, as well as working dog demonstrations with Gary White from White's Kelpie Stud. Mr Davies said the agriculture expo will create a welcoming environment for people to come together and talk. “From experience, I know these events and venues create an environment where community comes together, share stories and connect with people and in a familiar space,” he said. “It’s on their patch and an agriculture expo isn’t new so weaving these messages in is a great environment to do so. “It’ so important to gather as a community and check in with other and yourself. “We just have to sit and listen and let people know they’re supported.” The event was made possible through the Victorian government’s Emergency Recovery - Victoria’s Community Recovery Hubs grant program and the Australian Government in response to the October 2022 flood and landslip. The expo will run from 10am to 3pm at the Dederang Recreation Reserve, with food stalls available onsite.
