THE community of Eudunda was recently honoured in South Australian Parliament chambers for its achievements as a collective and the work of some impressive individuals in the region.
Following Member for Light Tony Piccolo MP’s visit to the Eudunda Show on Sunday, 10 November, he spoke in the House of Assembly last week about the success of the agricultural show and the vibrant community spirit on display.
“One of the joys of being an MP is that you meet a lot of community groups and you go to visit a lot of people in their communities,” Mr Piccolo said.
“It is particularly heartening when you see some communities that seem to punch above their weight
“One such community is, in my view, Eudunda, also known as part of the Valley of Hidden Treasures.”
Mr. Piccolo had the pleasure of meeting several prominent Eudunda locals at the show, including Samuel Doering and Mel Zerner.
Samuel, a high achiever from Neales Flat, and Mel, the vice president of the Eudunda Community Business and Tourism Committee, are both deeply involved in various community initiatives.
The Eudunda Community Business and Tourism Committee also sponsors the local online newspaper, Eudunda News, which plays a crucial role in keeping the community informed and connected.
The event was further enriched by the presence of BBBfm 89.1 Community Radio, which broadcasted the show live, and the Eudunda News, which promoted the event through its online platform.
Both organisations were commended for their efforts in supporting the community by sharing valuable information.
In his speech, Mr. Piccolo also mentioned the upcoming business breakfast hosted by the Eudunda Community Business and Tourism Committee.
The event aims to foster collaboration among local businesses and promote economic growth in the Eudunda region.
