Roll-up! The biggest crowd in years, at annual Warren Show
By HARRIET GILMORE By HARRIET GILMORE
MORE than 100 locals came together in the garden of Patricia Plunkett for the annual Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea, raising vital money for the Cancer Council and Warren’s Palliative Care Support Group. More than $2000 was eventually fundraised from the event, with Mary-Anne Brennan from the Palliative Care Group, and the sister of the host, Patricia Plunkett, both saying they were thrilled with the success of the event. “What a hugely successful day,” they enthused. “The amazing generosity of our community, raising more than $2000 for the Cancer Council, and a generous amount from the raffles, to our local Palliative Care group,” they added. Raffle winners on the day included Raymond Burns and Barbara Bolton, with the Lucky Door Prize going to Shirley Toddhunter and the Guessing Competition, to Michael McKay.
THE largest crowd in years flocked to the Showground on Saturday for the 144th annual Warren Show, with hundreds of locals and visitors enjoying a fun day out in beautiful autumn sunshine. While an exact attendance figure through the gate was not yet available, Justin Sanderson, President of Warren Pastoral and Agriculture Association — organisers of the annual Show — said numbers across-the-board, were up on recent outings. “What a fantastic day!” Mr Sanderson enthused. “What a solid crowd, definitely bigger than previous years,” he added. Mr Sanderson also congratulated champion contributors to this year’s Show. “Well done to Janice Oriel, winner of the Presidents Cup, she was an outstanding competitor in the Pavilion this year. Sideshow Alley was a hot favourite for families. PHOTO: WARREN STAR.
