This week’s Orange City Life carries a special 24 page Eats supplement to add to the reading enjoyment and to help further promote Orange’s image of a great food city.

The publication is a first for Orange and a first for Orange City Life, although a smaller version using a different concept has been produced twice before. Earlier versions were produced mainly for tourists and distributed though accommodation and tourist outlets.

Around 25 popular local eating outlets feature in the guide and it is hoped that readers will enjoy and respond to the fresh, inviting and colourful format. There is also some tourist information, several favourite reader recipes and a chance to win a $100 meal voucher to be spent at one of the featured advertising food outlets.

15,000 copies have been produced and will be distrusted through OC Life, local motels, caravan parks, the visitors centre and the featured eating houses. 450 copies are also being included in the Exhibitor packs for the upcoming Australian National Field Days.

Orange City Life is a strong supporter of local business and will continue to support or create initiatives like this, to help local businesses remain vibrant, grow and continue to employ people.
