George the Farmer a hit in Loddon Shire

Published on 15 November 2023

George the Farmer has proven to be a hit in Loddon Shire with 180 people attending the special live show at the Serpentine Recreation Reserve on Sunday (12 November).

Against the backdrop of a beautiful spring day, children sang, danced and played along with the lively show, accompanied by a presentation from the Australian Red Cross.

Children in attendance took part in the Australian Red Cross pillowcase project, which aims to reduce the impacts of disasters on people. www.redcross.org.au/pillowcase-workshops/

“All the participants – younger and older – enjoyed meeting George the Farmer, who was a big hit,” Council’s Director Community Wellbeing Wendy Gladman said.

“Outside, the Inglewood Lions Club prepared a fantastic barbecue lunch followed by fresh fruit, while the ice cream cart was a big hit for all – as was the coffee van for the adults.

“Attendees were treated to fantastic live music from Sherri Parry while they enjoyed their lunch on the lawns of the Serpentine Recreation Reserve.

“Council has received some lovely feedback from residents who attended the event, expressing how much they enjoyed the day, and how great it was to see so many people there,” Mrs Gladman added.

“We thank everyone who came along and for making this such a special day.”

Loddon Shire organised the event as part of Council’s Community Recovery Program, jointly funded by the Australian and Victorian Governments.
