Day of Diversity
What started as plans for a fundraising picnic has turned into a mini-festival thanks to the hard work of two stay-at-home mums.
Jenny Skidmore, 27, and Sarah Fox, 36, met at a yoga class and formed a fast friendship. Now they are excited for Wagga’s first Day of Diversity.
The mums encourage families and residents to grab a picnic blanket and come on down to enjoy the stunning surroundings of Wagga Botanical Gardens on October 28, from 10am to 4pm.
The cost is a gold coin donation upon entry with a portion of stall profits also being donated to the Breast Cancer Foundation.
