MANNUM SHOW DINNER

The Mannum Agricultural Show Dinner and night of entertainment will be held from 6.30pm in Schache Hall at the Showground on Friday 26th February 2010 with guest soloist Tamika Godleman.

Entertainment will be provided by Dave Verrall. Dave has been in the entertainment industry from 1970. He was best male vocalist 1982, best song writer 1983 and 1987 at the Riverland Country Music Festival and best male vocalist 1987 at the Northern Country Music Association Port Pirie.
