VANESSA AND MATT DUNBABIN
The Optus Fun Zone again attracted plenty of attention from kids and adults alike, with the Hobart Hurricanes joined by Tasmania’s other professional sporting club the JackJumpers and their respective mascots Captain Hurricane and Jack the Jumper. Jack showed he was no slouch off the basketball court either, entertaining onlookers as he made and served coffee at the THA’s Workforce Development station. For Derwent Park based distillery 7k, returning to Agfest was a no brainer following their experience in 2022. Production manager Tom Rofe was joined by
sales manager Alexander Chaplin, with the pair kept busy across the entire event. Although the timing of this year’s Agfest meant one of the company’s signature products, the world’s hottest gin, wasn’t quite ready – much to the disappointment of several punters – Chaplin said 7k’s other gins and whisky’s flew off the shelves. “I think it worked much better this year [being back to three days instead of four] in terms of that it was easier for us, especially with not having to be there for the extra day,” Chaplin said.
