With the quest due to officially start from December 1, the time is now for residents to put their hands up and take part.

Open to men and women, the quest includes fundraising for chosen charities and groups, as well as the community in general in the lead up to the Leeton SunRice Festival, which is held at Easter every second year.

Over the years entrants have held events that have appealed to a broad spectrum of residents in a bid to capture their fundraising dollar, but also ensure a good time.

These have included everything from seafood nights, formal cocktail balls, dress up parties and lawn bowls to DJ nights, trivia evenings and much more.

"We are still on the hunt for ambassadors," Leeton SunRice Festival director Julie Axtill said.

"We have had inquiries and a couple of have said they are interested, but so far we are still are not committed to announcing any ambassadors.

"The cut off is not officially until 2020, but it would be great to be able to introduce ambassadors at the launch at the end of November."

Ambassadors of the past have said they didn't realise until taking part just how much they would get out of the experience.

The satisfaction of raising money for charity is one part of it, but many said the friendships they formed along the way was another unexpected, but welcome surprise to taking part.

There's also the added bonus of whoever is named the Ambassador winner and Highest Fundraising Ambassador takes home a travel prize not to be sneezed at.

The festival committee will hold its annual general meeting on October 30, with those wanting to be part of the organisation proceedings in the lead up to the event welcome to attend.

"We are always looking for new committee members," Mrs Axtill said.

"Also we have had a wonderful response from the community in relation to sponsorship.

"We have secured some fabulous street entertainers and are looking forward to another amazing community event."

Those interested in taking part in the quest should touch base with Mrs Axtill, Cheryl Whymark at the Leeton Trophy and Gift Centre or visit http://www.leetonsunricefestival.com.au/ for more information.
