DALGETY graziers, Don and Mill Wellsmore, were honoured for their long-standing contributions to the Dalgety and Snowy River communities at this year’s Dalgety Show.

Celebrating ‘Year of the Farmer’ as its theme, the Dalgety Show Society made a special presentation to Don and Mill.

Dalgety Show president, Julie Hedger, thanked the pair for their many years’ support of the show.

Don and Mill are icons of the region and were well received when accepting their recognition on stage at the official opening.

The Dalgety Show official opening welcomed Rural Aid CEO, John Warlters, as the guest speaker. When opening the show, he spoke of the importance of resilience and hope for rural communities, who often do it tough.

The opening also saw life membership awarded to Annie O’Keeffe and Christie Glasson for their years of hard work and dedication to the show.

The show was again well attended as thousands passed through the gates.
