There’s been a lot of talk around town this week following our local Lotto win on Saturday night.

While The Lott did not provide us with the name of the lucky winner, it did send a couple of photos, though they’re been deliberately blurred.
Look closely and you may be able to recognise our town’s new (almost) millionaire.

The Naponda Farmer’s Market will return to its usual place on the second Saturday in November … and that’s where it will stay.
Unfortunately a move to End St, to be part of the celebrations held there last Saturday, didn’t work as well as organisers had hoped.
They whipped an email out to participants and supporters with a “thank you for your patience on Saturday”, adding “what was considered to be a great idea, turned into an ordinary idea”, plus a “sorry it wasn’t better for us”.
There was a promise that “we will not be moving again” and “we look forward to an easy market in November and it will be hot dog breakfast, that will be a new experience”.
So let’s all get behind the November market and help get it back on track.

A reminder that classes for the University of the Third Age (U3A) in Deniliquin are up and running.
There’s everything from walking to singing, creative writing, Mahjong, book club, travel and lots more.
A full list of courses and times was in last Friday’s PT.

Viewers of The Amazing Race on Channel 10 recently may have spotted the work of former local journalist Sueanne McCumstie.
Sueanne is currently based in Perth, where she is a Public Relations Manager with Tourism WA.
As part of this role, Sueanne often works with various media outlets to find new and innovative ways to promote Western Australia.
She worked with the production company behind The Amazing Race to not only bring the production to Western Australia, but also to give advice on which locations to film and provide input into the many challenges for the ‘racers’.
Through her work, The Amazing Race travelled to Perth, Rottnest Island and Fremantle, and held the season finale in Broome.
Sueanne said the highlight was lighting Perth city in yellow and red for the filming, which are the colours of The Amazing Race.
