Korumburra Showgrounds

The South Gippsland Dairy Expo, organised by the Strzelecki Lions Club will take place on Wednesday 28th and Thursday 29th September 2011 at the Korumburra Showgrounds, Korumburra.

We are pleased to announce the new venue for the Dairy Expo and we look forward to commemorating 12 years of providing the local dairying community with an event that showcases the latest in innovation, products and services available to the dairy industry.

During the past 11 years, the Strzelecki Lions Club has distributed over $230,000 back to the community from this event.  It is important to mention that this achievement would not have been possible without the involvement of loyal sponsors who have continued to support the Expo and the community.

Kids Activity – Each year, as the Dairy Expo falls within the school holidays, it is important that there are activities for the children.  This year we have invited back the Kids CarEd activity to entertain our future young motorists.  Bring the kids along for a hands-on learning experience on road safety. This activity is proudly sponsored by Gardiner Foundation. The Expo promises to offer plenty to do for the kids during these holidays, so bring the whole family along and enjoy your day.
