The Mudgee Small Farm Field Days are supported by:
Fashion Pavilion & Lecture Pavilion
Essential Energy Fashion & Lecture Pavilion.
Fashion Parades are running at 12 noon & 2pm each day in the Essential Energy Fashion & Lecture Pavilion.
The parades feature clothing from the exhibitors that are attending the event. This keeps the content relevant and means the fashion parade viewers can purchase the items they see modelled.
The models, co-ordinator and make-up artists are all local
volunteers and they put in a tremendous amount of work
in preparation for the event.
