2. How long have you been involved in the Lilydale and Yarra Valley Show? Why did you get involved?
I have been involved with the show for only a year and a half. I got involved because I saw the secretaries position advertised and I thought that would be something I would like to get involved in. I love people and helping community and thought that this would be a great opportunity to meet wonderful people and help out plan a show.
3. What do you enjoy most about helping put on the Show? What joy does it bring you?
I enjoy the smiles on peoples faces, on Saturday at the show I saw the Big bubble man blowing huge bubbles, and all the children were running around chasing them and squealing with delight, I just looked at them and a smile appeared from me. It was a beautiful moment to see children outside, running around chasing bubbles. It’s the simple things of life we do not see too much of these days.

Coming here as a little girl and watching the wood chopping with my late father. I have his footage from 1975 up on our website.
