New Yanco Town Improvement Committee has big plans in motion

The Yanco Town Improvement Committee has been established following a successful community meeting with Leeton Shire Council earlier this year.

The idea is for the committee to represent Yanco, assist in putting on events for the town, bring new ideas to life and also fundraising for projects down the track.

With the committee now in place so too is its inaugural event.

On November 26 the committee will hold a twilight markets evening that is open to stallholders of all varieties.

The event will be held in Yanco in the service roadway just off Irrigation Way, which will be shut down for the night to give a real vibe and atmosphere to the festivities.

Entertainment is being planned, along with activities for children, but the main goal will be to provide a fun event for Yanco residents and visitors from across the region to enjoy.
