Representing the St Arnaud show and the Wimmera region, she competed alongside eight other exceptional candidates.
Even though she may not have come home with any silverware, she was pleased to have had her hat in the ring.
“I am extremely honoured to have been able to represent our community at state level,” she said.
Ms Parry said this process began just on 12 months ago where she entered as our St Arnaud Show Rural Ambassador,
“I then progressed onto the second round, district level at the WASA [Wimmera Agricultural Societies Association] winning the title of Wimmera Rural Ambassador alongside our junior representative Dusty Raiyn McIntyre,” she said
“Both Dusty and I went onto the state level of VAS [Victorian Agricultural Shows],
Dusty competed in Bendigo in July and Ms Parry at Melbourne show over the AFL Grand Final weekend.
She said it wasn’t all about winning the title.
“The process is such a wonderful opportunity to meet like-minded passionate youth, have deep and real conversations around issues within our rural communities.
“I have come out of this experience with lifelong friends, connections, new skills and ideas. I highly recommended getting involved and giving this opportunity a crack, the doors this experience opens is well worth it.”
Congratulations to the 2025 Victorian Junior Ambassador Winner Charlotte Wigney from the Bendigo Show representing Northern District and the 2025 Victorian Rural Ambassador winner Harry Lloyd from Kyabram show and Goulburn Valley Riverina.
"We wish Harry all the best as he prepares over the coming 12 months to compete at the next level in Queensland 2026.
