Countdown On to Wimmera Field Days
The countdown is on to the Wimmera Machiney Field Days - an event of iconic proportions on the rural Australian calendar.
To be held from March 3 to 5, the event will feature more than 400 exhibitors and highlight the latest developments in farming equipment, machinery, practices, services, and technology.
After a humble start in 1963, the event has grown into what it is today.
While adults will be kept entertained by displays and exhibits featuring the latest concepts and technology, there is also plenty to keep the children entertained - most notably performances from the gang from Paw Patrol.
They'll be in attendance on Wednesday, with show times at 10.30am and 12.30pm, and children can meet the stars at 11.30am.
There's also a family and kids zone, with arts, crafts, fun games and more, Black Snake Productions, and an activities program for schools.
Exhibitors will be featured everywhere, at the Alan Heard Pavilion, Country Lifestyle Indoor, Country Lifestyle Marquee and Country Lifestyle Outside, as well as the Local Market Square, Moore Exhibition Centre and other outside sites.
In attendance will also be several community groups, like footy and netball groups, the CFA and Green Park Kinder.
Ambulance Victoria, the Cancer Council of Victoria, CWA, Horsham Men's Shed, Victoria Police, Victoria SES, Wimmera Heating Society and Wimmera Prostate Group will also be there.
The event is fully equipped with services including an office of management, an ATM, first aid, amenities for babies and parents, toilets, and an array of drinks and food.
The event is open to exhibitors from 7am to 7pm and to the public from 8.30am to 5pm on days one and two, and from 7am to 5.30pm for exhibitors and 8.30am to 4pm for the public on day three.
Admission can be purchased online for $22 per day, or on the day at the gate for $25.
Children under 17 are free.
Buses, as a free service, will also run between Horsham and the site, with the collection and drop-off point at Horsham City Netball Car Park, off Park Drive.
Departure times are 9am and 11am, with the return service leaving the event from Gate One at 1pm and 4.30pm.
