People from far and wide are being urged to attend the Seymour Alternative Farming Expo to support the community effort that went into ensuring the event could go ahead after last year’s floods.
“Seymour has been incredibly resilient over the past six months,” state Member for Euroa Annabelle Cleeland said in parliament recently.
“The October floods had a significant impact on the community, so it is inspiring to see the town open its gates to tourism again.
“Kings Park was under water in October. Everyone involved has done a sensational job getting the precinct back open and up and running.”
Ms Cleeland encouraged everyone to stop in at her site and say hello.
“It is a lovely opportunity to come and say hi to us and have a chat,” she said
The Nationals MP said the expo would provide a welcome boost to the Seymour region.
“The expo is the biggest weekend of the year for the community,” she said.
“After last year’s devastating floods the town cannot wait to welcome everyone back for what I know will be a bumper expo.
“Even if it is just a day trip, get to Seymour, grab a coffee at one of the amazing cafés, browse the main streets, spend some time at the expo and finish the day with a meal or drink in town.”
The Seymour Alternative Farming Expo runs from Friday, March 31 to Sunday, April 2 from 9am to 4pm each day at Kings Park Reserve, Tallarook St, Seymour.
