The editorial team has been busy catching up with people from across the region to bring you a collection of incredible stories, inspiring journeys and local voices.
Among the featured stories is Jean-Marie Mupenda’s journey from the Congo to Shepparton, alongside musician Jessica Lorraine’s rise from nervous first gigs to opening for Australian music legends, with plenty more music on the horizon.
Artist Tank and partner Meg Pethybridge also offer a rare insight into their relationship and what drives the couple to give back to the community they call home.
You’ll also meet Kody Bothwell, whose journey in the art world is proof of what determination can achieve, particularly for a student whose potential was once underestimated.
There’s plenty more to explore, including the story behind a locally published book, women making their mark in the trucking industry, features on regional businesses and services, plus inspiration, fashion, recipes, quizzes and much more.
At its heart, Betty & Don is about celebrating the people who make our region what it is.
From different backgrounds and walks of life to the passions, challenges and achievements that shape their stories, every edition reflects the strength and character of our community.
With something for everyone between the pages, make sure you grab a copy of the News this Friday, October 23, and enjoy your free edition of Betty & Don.
