LOCAL produce will be the flavour of the day at a new Loddon event organisers say will be the ultimate celebration of regional charm and community fun.
Cork and Fork Loddon Valley details were announced on Monday, a day being organised by Southern Loddon Tourism and backed by the shire council.
Organisers say November’s event at Newbridge Recreation Reserve will bring together the best of Loddon Valley’s food, wine and music. Thirty local vendors will be part of the event.
Shire CEO Lincoln Fitzgerald said council has supported Southern Loddon Tourism to bring the event to the region.
“After COVID and then flooding across our shire, we are pleased to see Southern Loddon Tourism build and develop the concept for a major event such as this, to support local producers and communities, as well as showcasing Loddon Shire’s liveability to visitors.
“This is a fantastic opportunity for locals and visitors alike to truly experience the incredible array of food, wine and local produce that can only be found in our region.”
Southern Loddon Tourism president Norma Sokolowski encouraged people to book their tickets now to avoid missing what would be an unforgettable regional experience.
“Cork and Fork Loddon Valley is a true ‘choose your own adventure’ event, whether it’s sampling the array of food and wine, or enjoying a relaxing and entertaining day out,” she said.
“Bring a camping chair or picnic blanket, soak in the atmosphere, and enjoy a delicious and relaxing day out that has something for everyone.”
