Honoured by show win

I was honoured to win the Hayley Memorial Cup for best exhibitor (art) in the produce tent at this year’s Henley Farm and Country Show.

The tent has been run by Donna Guile for 25 years and is an integral part of the show.

There are 125 categories and 679 entries this year — eye-watering! Her enthusiasm is palpable as proven by her many exhibitors each year.

Many years ago I ran the food and wine tent for 28 years and appreciate the incredible hard work that goes into organising a marquee.

Well done Donna and keep going. — Yours faithfully,

Minnie Wilson
