Shepparton Harness Racing Club last night won the Best on Course Promotion for the Country Week Tennis event held in Greater Shepparton in February.
The award was for Best On Course Promotion, which formed part of the week-long Country Week Tennis social program and part of the event saw more than 600 meals served which was a new club record and significant takings from the bar.
Greater Shepparton Mayor Jenny Houlihan congratulated everyone involved.
“This was an enormous effort from all involved in pulling this event together. The Harness Racing Club deserve huge congratulations,” Cr Houlihan said
“This event was held as part of the social events organised for Country Week Tennis. The social programs aim to offer our visitors additional activities and networking opportunities while they are here, as well as supporting businesses and community groups locally by working in partnership to organise activities and promotional opportunities.”
Country Tennis Week was organised by Greater Shepparton City Council and the Country Week Community Working Group.
