RURAL Women’s Day is a not-for-profit organisation to connect rural and regional women through Community, Collaboration and Celebration. Nagambie will host its Rural Women’s Day event on Friday, October 17, from 11am to 4pm.

The Nagambie event is being run by Shepparton Police Officer Elisha Basse. The last few years, they have had some incredible guest speakers, like Australian basketball champion Gabrielle Richards, skilled milliner Becky-Jane Fortin, and the CEO and Founder of Al Mabin, Alice Mabin.

This year promises to be just as good with Laura Benbow from Apiary Made sharing her story and showcasing some of her stunning products. And for the first time, they are introducing wine tasting, hosted by local female winemakers.

“You can’t explain it, but there’s like a magic in the room. We just had our national event down in Ballarat, where I was on a panel with the other hosts. And, yeah, it’s like this real buzz being part of it,” said Elisha.

The Nagambie event will be held on Friday, October 17, at 233 Morningside Road, Wahring. Tickets are $145 each (plus $4.13 booking fee), to book visit https://events.humanitix.com/rural-womens-day-nagambie-vic.
