Members statements - Sheepvention

Victorian Parliament - 7 August 2018 - Ms KEALY (Lowan) (13:48:23) — I would like to congratulate Will Kinghorn, president of the Hamilton Sheepvention committee, all of the committee volunteers and everybody else that made this year’s Hamilton Sheepvention an enormous success. They are celebrating 40 years this year and 160 years of sheep sales. The Hamilton Sheepvention just goes from strength to strength, attracting so many people to the area, which stimulates our local economy but most importantly shows off what we do best in the Western District — that is, growing fabulous produce. The sheep were looking absolutely great yesterday when I was on site. Congratulations to Will and the team, and I look forward to attending future Sheepventions.
