Deputy mayor Andrew Baltensperger expressed his enthusiasm for the Local Legends campaign, emphasising that everyone in the community has the opportunity to be a legend by nominating a local legend in one of the four award streams.
"Within our thriving communities, we are fortunate to witness extraordinary individuals accomplishing remarkable feats. It is important for us to honour and celebrate these outstanding achievements," he said.
"Join us in celebrating the exceptional individuals and community achievements that make the Rural City of Murray Bridge truly legendary. Be a Legend, nominate a Legend."
