FARMERS, agribusinesses and rural community members are invited to enjoy A Little Bit of Relief Agriculture Expo at Dederang this week, with mental health advocate Warren Davies (The Unbreakable Farmer) to be keynote speaker.

Due to forecast heavy rain, the free event at the Dederang Recreation Reserve was postponed to November 29 to support the local farming communities, with the expo to feature agricultural industry services, farm safety demonstrations and business and health support, amongst other stalls and speakers.

Beyond Blue ambassador, Brad McEwan, will be the master of ceremonies and the event will feature a speech from Mr Davies, as well as working dog demonstrations with Gary White from White's Kelpie Stud.

The event was made possible through the Victorian government’s Emergency Recovery - Victoria’s Community Recovery Hubs grant program and the Australian Government in response to the October 2022 flood and landslip.

A Little Bit of Relief will run from 10am to 3pm this Friday, November 29 at the Dederang Recreation Reserve, with food stalls available onsite.

The event is free to attend, and no registrations are required.
