A quick wrap up of what's happening throughout the 2022 Leeton SunRice Festival

For those who may have been unaware of what's happening, there's plenty to see and do over the Easter long weekend thanks to the festival.

It all gets underway on Thursday, April 14 with the shades of green cocktail party, which will officially launch the event.

Also happening that night is the opening of the Penny Paniz Acquisitive Arts competition and the announcing of winners at the Leeton Museum and Gallery.
