Dress fit for royalty and come along to a very special celebration for Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee.

Buderim Foundation Chair Dr Russell Stitz said with people all over the Commonwealth hosting events to celebrate the 70^th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II ascending to the throne at the beginning of June, the Foundation thought it would be a great opportunity to join the fun.

“The event to be held on Thursday 2^nd June will see attendees welcomed by a piper as they sip Pimms cocktails or a glass of champagne on the BWMCA War Memorial Hall lawn. There will also be an array of delicious British-inspired savoury and sweet treats to enjoy,” Dr Stitz said.

With a reputation based on quality and innovation, Queensland’s food and agribusiness industry continues to go from strength to strength. With one-third of Australia’s primary produce coming out of Queensland, this sector now contributes more than $18.8 billion to the state economy.

Working closely with growers, producers and manufacturers, from all over South-East Queensland, the Food & Agribusiness Network (FAN) is once again bringing many of them together for the annual “Meet the Makers” event.

Now in its fourth year, this must-attend food and beverage trade event continues to grow in terms of size, diversity and reputation and will be held on Tuesday 3 rd May where over 100 exhibitors from the Sunshine Coast, Noosa, Gympie, Moreton Bay and beyond will showcase fresh produce and food and beverage products to buyers and industry.
