| EAST GIPPSLAND NEWSPAPERS 2 EAST GIPPSLAND FIELD DAYS THURSDAY, APRIL 4, 2024 Field day fun goes gangbusters It is the most iconic agricultural event on the East Gippsland calendar, attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors since its beginning in 1986. And last year’s bumper crowd showed that the East Gippsland Field Days, which is run by the Lindenow Lions Club, is as loved by local businesses and families as ever before. It also serves the purpose of showcasing the products, equipment and services of local vendors, and allows visitors to see the vast range in one location. East Gippsland Field Days returns to the Bairnsdale Aerodrome on April 5 and 6, featuring more than 200 agricultural and rural exhibitors, as well as food and family entertainment. The popular Dino Races, hosted by LJ Hooker Bairnsdale, will also return at their site, and is sure to bring fun and laughter. Live music is going gangbusters at this year’s field days, with a jam-packed line-up on Saturday from 10am-3pm. Artists include Olivia Lay, Mike Elrington, the Todd Cook duo and more. What many people don’t realise is that in addition to supporting rural and agricultural businesses, some of the funds raised by the Lindenow Lions Club through the field days is donated back to local charities and community organisations each year. In recent years the funds from field days have helped Lindenow and district local sporting clubs, schools, kindergartens and various groups to upgrade facilities, purchase new equipment and uniforms, and to complete a range of projects. Site bookings are open now and there is plenty of variety in sizes both powered and unpowered to choose from.
