THE 12-hour shearing fundraiser for the Ronald McDonald House (RMH) held last Saturday in Wannon had a great turnout, with around 60 volunteers that pushed through the scorching heat, raising a whopping $35,981.50 for the worthy cause. 

Shearer, Ken Bungard and wool classer, Tara Stephens were the key organisers and volunteers for the event, with the idea being inspired by the charity that had supported them through a difficult time last year.
