The 2010 Wimmera Machinery Field Days will again have special features designed to encourage specific groups to exhibit together and create mini-expo environments that are easy to market and promote to the general public.

country gourmet pavilion

Introduced in 2009 the Country Gourmet Pavilion was extremely popular with patrons and exhibitors alike and resulted in considerable coverage in the media. Featuring a broad cross-section of Wimmera and regional fine food, beverages and produce the Country Gourmet Pavilion will now become a key feature of the Field Days. With an auditorium that sits over 300 people, the Country Gourmet Pavilion hosts celebrity chef cooking shows and the popular Field Days fashion parades each day drawing large crowds into the pavilion. Limited opportunities to exhibit are available and we encourage exhibitors to book their sites early for this popular feature.

Celebrity Chef Fast Ed from Better Homes and Gardens will be back in the Country Gourmet Pavilion for 2010, cooking up a storm each day with his entertaining and exciting cooking shows.

country lifestyle square

The revamped Country Lifestyle Square is one of the most popular and patronised areas of the Field Days and includes a large range of general food vendors and an outdoor gourmet food and wine courtyard. We provide a modern 750m² air-condtioned, timber-floored ‘Country Lifestyle Marquee’ to feature a diverse range of popular general interest exhibits, arts and crafts and home and lifestyle products. The outdoor areas also include a number of general interest exhibitor sites. There is also the Country Lifestyle Square, host to the popular Field Days competition displays, a range of children and family activities and shaded lawn areas… all in a central premium location.

major attractions

Each year the Field Days aims to introduce popular attractions and special exhibits to the event for both entertainment and promotion purposes. In the past few years, we have seen the popular Super Tank Australian travelling fishing show, Shannon’s Car Insurance Super Rig prime mover, snake handling shows and music and entertainment. These attractions provide exhibitors with opportunities to acquire nearby sites or play host to the attraction - benefiting the exhibitor through extra promotion as well as from the large crowds that visit the attractions each day.
