February 8 was one for the history books! Federal Member for Longman Terry Young MP was excited to join lords, ladies, knights and other nobles from across Longman on a crusaders journey for a bushfire fundraising dinner at Abbey Hall for the Abbey Medieval Festival and Abbey Museum of Art and Archaeology’s Fundraising Dinner. The Abbey Medieval Festival and Abbey Museum of Art and Archaeology raised $6685 for the small town of Genoa on the Victoria/NSW border that was devastated by the bushfires. Mr Young said it was a fantastic night for an important cause.
