"This exciting event is open to the public, and I encourage Gippslanders to head to the GRSC on Tuesday to support the Wildcats and all the enthusiastic competitors. Volunteers, coaches, families, and supporters will be inspired by the efforts, talents and positivity of those competing and can learn from their passion, enthusiasm and joy," said Mr Chester.
