THE horticulture industry’s night of nights returns in 2021, with a date and venue announced for the FNQ Growers Annual Gala Dinner.
Postponed last year due to the COVID health pandemic, this year’s event will be held on Saturday, September 3 at the Mareeba United Football Club.
Also making a return is the prestigious Charlie Nastasi Horticultural Farmer of the Year Award, which will be announced at the dinner.
FNQ Growers chair Joe Moro said while horticulture continued to go from strength to strength, the region’s growers had shared in the challenges brought about by the pandemic.
“A night like this gives the industry and our supporters a chance to reflect and celebrate our success, despite the challenging environment in which we farm in,” Mr Moro said.
“It also gives us an opportunity to recognise one of our peers, with the Charlie Nastasi Horticultural Farmer of the Year Award in honour of one of the pillars of our industry.”
Sponsorship packages for the dinner are available by calling FNQ Growers secretary Maree Lopez on 4092 6099 or email jam.lopez97@gmail.com
