Murray Now

For those of you that are looking towards setting dates in concrete for your 2012 calendar, there are some not to be missed Murray Now events to mark down!

Sure you’ve heard of the Deni Ute Muster and what a huge event it has become. From humble beginnings of a handful of guys in utes, singlets and broad brimmed hats. Well the inaugural Farm Innovation Technology Expo (or FITE as it is referred to) is gaining momentum and working towards becoming just as popular. Over two days, Friday 30 and Saturday 31 March 2012, the FITE will be held at the Murray Valley Industry Park on Todd’s Road just 7 kilometres out of Deniliquin.

“There is a real opportunity available to present the latest and most innovative products on the market to the farming community. In day to day living it is hard enough to keep pace with changes in technology but when you’re running a multi-million dollar operation as most farmers do, you need to have the best available brought to your attention without the need to go out and look for it.” Andrew Walker, Business Development Manager for Murray Now said.

A selection of Farmers Gate producers will showcase specialised, boutique food and wine; sharing their experiences from paddock to plate. While in the evening there will be a gala Networking and Jazz Night, with special guests, local gourmet food and wines from around the region, perfect for a balmy summer night.

The next biggest thing in 2012 is the gala annual Murray Now State of the Region Event for 2012. Year after year we strive to set the benchmark high, promoting our Murray region, showcasing our wonderful businesses, creating activities that are intelligent, informative and exceptionally entertaining is all part of the objectives for the State of the Region Event and 2012 will be no exception.

Hosted on Friday 13 July and Saturday 14 July, 2012 the event begins with the educational and informative Knowledge Workshops running throughout Friday followed by an amazing cocktail evening. We then launch into a live ‘HYPOTHETICAL’ with Peter Couchman in the Albury Entertainment Centre’s Theatre.

Saturday evening will be a astounding black tie event with a twist to the live Q&A’s we have had in the past… but we won’t give away too much, you’ll have to keep reading the Murray Now eNews issues to find out how things are progressing.
