THERE’S no place like home, and Greater Shepparton City Council, through its destination brand Shepparton & Goulburn Valley, is encouraging locals and visitors to connect and enjoy the region and stay ‘Home for the Holidays’.
From Friday June 28 to Sunday July 14, locals, friends and relatives, are invited to experience some of the home-grown activities available in Shepparton and Goulburn Valley and enjoy special events and happenings at local venues.
Mayor, Councillor Shane Sali, said Council was looking forward to seeing people get behind the activation and experience the best things Greater Shepparton has to offer.
“We invite residents staying ‘Home for the Holidays’ to have family and friends over, and share the wonderful experiences available in the region,” he said.
“You don’t have to travel far to find great food and drinks and enjoy family activities. These types of activities are a great opportunity to encourage people to consume local, activate the economy and discover new things to do in their own community.”
There is plenty of sporting action to watch or join in on. With international athletes competing in the Squash International, and junior athletes in the State Hockey Championships, plenty of basketball activities to join in on over the holidays. Sunday, June 30 will get your creative juices flowing with the first Mini Mart Art Fair and workshops or laugh until your sides hurt when The Listies – Make Some Noise! If you’re looking to venture indoors, there’s plenty of indoor activities too, from laser tag to ten pin bowling, from mini golf to the Museum of Vehicle Evolution (MOVE).
