GLENELG Shire’s largest event is all set to go at Heywood on Saturday, with Wood, Wine and Roses organisers as confident as they can be they have put a turbulent two years behind them for the return of the tourist drawcard.

They are hopeful that the event can again draw somewhere near the 12,000 visitors it did before the coronavirus pandemic, despite having to battle more than a few obstacles in the run-in.
