In September, the Muswellbrook Showground was transformed into a vibrant hub of creativity and connection as the Upper Hunter Showcase took place alongside The TV & Movie Nostalgia Festival. With over 3,000 attendees and 22 local businesses proudly represented, the event was a resounding success, demonstrating the power of community collaboration and local enterprise.

The Upper Hunter Showcase, sponsored by the Local Buying Foundation, showcased the diverse range of businesses in the region, highlighting the talent and entrepreneurial spirit that thrives in the Upper Hunter.

The overwhelming positive response was not just about nostalgia; it was also about building connections. One attendee noted, “It was all about old memories, but we ended up making some new ones,” emphasizing how events like these foster community ties and support local businesses. For many local entrepreneurs, this event provided a platform to connect with potential customers and collaborate with other businesses.

By sponsoring events like the Upper Hunter Showcase, the Local Buying Foundation supports local businesses and nurtures community spirit, helping ensure that local business can continue to flourish and contribute to the region’s economic prosperity. The Local Buying Foundation is dedicated to creating platforms that empower our local businesses and build a stronger, more vibrant community for everyone.
