It was great to bring the community together for a fun evening with good vibes while promoting health!

Last Friday 5th December we held our Farmer & Family Fun Night for the community in partnership with South West Healthcare, Ambulance Victoria, National Centre for Farmer Health and Let's Talk.

While the adults upskilled at our CPR, defibrillator and snake bite first aid demonstrations, the kids went nuts for the gumboot throwing competition! Tug-of-war was also a hit for kids and adults alike. Well done everyone!

A big thank you to Stretch & The Truth for being our MC for the night and persevering through technical difficulties with the PA system with a smile!
