This year’s Dairy Flat School Agriculture Day, on October 19, will be held in memory of Charlie and Dalice Earwaker.
Principal Debbie Marshall says the Earwakers were very strong supporters of the school for many years.
“Charlie and Dalice were very involved in the school and have supported the Ag Day for many years,” she says. “Their children and grandchildren also attended the school.”
Charlie and Dalice both died this year. “They have left a huge hole in this community,” Debbie says.
In 1981 the Earwakers were presented with a platter to acknowledge their service to the school. The family has now presented this platter back to the school to be used as a prize for a child with a lamb.
This year, 49 lambs are entered in the competition.
There will be no pet calves at the Ag Day for the second year running, due to the risk of Mycoplasma bovis.
However, goats and chickens feature, alongside a new category for caged pets.
Some children are growing a “mystery seed” to enter in the plant category and students are also completing art projects and floral projects to be part of the displays.
There will be a range of stalls, games and activities and lots of delicious food on offer.
The Ag Day will be held at the school, 1220 Dairy Flat Highway, on October 19, from 8.30am-2pm.
