Louth Field Day
A total of $27,000 was raised for the Royal Flying Doctor Service at Saturday’s Louth Field Day.
The biennial Louth Field Day drew a great crowd, according to Garry Mooring, a member of the Louth Chamber of Commerce which organised the event.
“We had just over 40 exhibitors and five to six hundred people through the gate,” Mr Mooring said. “The weather was great; the food was fantastic, and everyone went away happy.”
Particularly happy with the event is the Royal Flying Doctor Service which will receive $26,800 because of the fund-raising auction that takes place at the end of the day.
