“I think it brings so much to Seymour,” event manager Joanne Smiles said.
“We always get lots of support from, particularly, the economic development group at the Mitchell Shire Council, they’re fabulous.
“Lots of the locals are welcoming and helpful.
“The footy club is fabulous, they’re great with their assistance, and I couldn’t thank the Kings Park Committee enough, they’ve been great, and the grounds look fabulous.”
