Football legend Sam Thaiday proved a popular hit with the crowd at Wright’s Food Barn this morning.
There was a sea of maroon dressed Bribie Islanders to greet the big fella as he took on the role of ambassador for the “Your Local Fruit Shop” (YLFS) group.
Jackie Wust, the owner of the popular Wright’s Fruit Barn, won the YLFS competition that saw Sam give up two hours of his time to promote the value of the local fruit and veggie shop.

He told the packed crowd about the advantages that the local fruit shop has over multi-national supermarkets.
But mainly the day was about having a lot of fun with people enjoying seeing Sam oversee the cooking demo of his famous veggie burger, a mandarin fruit peeling competition, Sam look-a-like competition and having lots of selfies taken with adoring fans.
A great day that many Bribie Islanders enjoyed. Thanks Sam and Jackie!

A highly successful sales and leadership career working in a number of different and very competitive industries. Engaging with decision makers at all levels in business and government. Three decades employed by corporations, SME businesses in senior roles and almost twelve years operating as a freelance contractor has equipped me well for all aspects of business. Whether leading and mentoring sales teams, or in a direct sales role I enjoy the challenge to meet and exceed expectations. Making a real and tangible difference in either a team environment or as an individual is an important personal goal I have consistently achieved throughout my career. In all of my business and personal dealings over the years there is one issue that stands out above all others - communication. Excellent communication skills creates trust, helps with mutually beneficial outcomes and above all cements long lasting positive relationships. I strive everyday to communicate effectively with the people I encounter.
