His Excellency David Hurley and Her Excellency Mrs Linda Hurley spent time speaking with local students and school principals, including William, Charlotte and Mr Glen Westcott.
Mr and Mrs Hurley were in Parkes for the day for the 25th anniversary of Paint Parkes REaD, which was celebrated over three day from September 6-8.
