GTR Events expo and commercial manager Ben Annear heaped praise on the Shepparton turnout and the much-welcomed spring sun.
“It was incredibly successful,” he said.
“The weather was beyond perfect.”
Billed as Shepparton’s biggest-ever expo of this kind, the weekend delivered, with more than 8000 patrons through the gates in total over the three days.
Mr Annear said the weekend was a great opportunity to host a premium event at a fantastic venue, and thanked everyone from Shepparton for their contributions.
The expo will be returning to Shepparton next September, 2024, and will be “even bigger and better”.
