Boorowa's two schools will benefit from all money raised from the Art Show at this year's Woolfest in October.
A new committee has formed this year as a Woolfest sub-committee to run the show, after the original organisers, members of the Anglican Church ladies group, decided to take a rest post Covid.

I'm passionate about supporting and advancing the local communities of the region for social and economic growth and have a keen interest in the current affairs affecting residents. I love being outdoors and I live on a small rural property just outside Young. My spare time is spent with family and friends, camping, fishing, gardening, looking after my small flock of merino sheep and being with my dogs which are my companions. I love to travel and I have been to New Zealand, Europe and Canada. I hope to travel more broadly in Europe in the coming years.
