More than 350 people made the most of a unique networking opportunity at the fifth annual 'Bringing Dowerin Downtown' lunch at Crown Perth recently. But the biggest message of the day was that WA's largest agricultural field day, the Dowerin Machinery Field Days (DMFD) was just 33 days away from starting.
