The team at Nutrien Ag Solutions Deniliquin discovered you can do 120 comfortably, and earn almost $4000 for important anti-bullying initiatives at the same time.
The north Deni business turned its car park into a barbecue zone on Friday morning to host a Do It for Dolly Day fundraiser.
Donations made in exchange for the booked breakfast amounted to $1955, which will be matched by Nutrien Ag Solutions.
On top of this, Nutrien Deni has raised another $400 online, with donations still being accepted at https://fundraise.dollysdream.org.au/fundraisers/NutrienAgSolutionsDeniliquin.
Do It for Dolly Day supports the charity Dolly’s Dream which has the aim of helping to create a kinder and safer world for Australia's kids and communities.
Fly-in, fly-out ... literally
The Deniliquin Peppin Heritage Centre shared an amazing story on its Facebook page late last week.
A group of Melbourne women were so insistent on seeing the quilting exhibition currently being shown at the Peppin, they arranged a helicopter to fly to Deniliquin to see it.
'To There and Back' is a modern quilt exhibition, with most of the items on display havng only just returned from the United States. They they were part of Quiltcon 2023 - the world’s largest quilt show
‘To There and Back’ is proudly funded by the NSW Government in association with the Edward River Council. The Deni exhibit closes at 2pm on May 28.
