Member of the Harvest Gunnedah Committee, Gunnedah Shire Councillor Colleen Fuller said that people could expect a day full of quality local produce and entertainment.

“We are currently seeking expressions of interest from foodies, makers and producers who want to participate,” Cr Fuller said.

“We are hoping the whole Shire gets on board to bring the best they have to offer to the table and make the first event something to remember.
