IT’S been one year since the inaugural Wallace Wants a Wife, and the region’s farmers are still looking for love.In just a few weeks up to 500 people are expected to descend upon the farming town for the second annual event, with a date now set for March 3.Wallace Hotel publican Andrea Wilson said she had already sold tickets to 200 people, including a group of girls who put their names down to attend 12 months ago – the day after attending last year’s event.“I said to them, ‘How do you know you’ll still be single then?’ and they said they just didn’t want to miss out,” Ms Wilson said.“It turns out they are still single and they’ve bought tickets.”The matchmaking night is open to anyone aged between 25 and 95, and so far people of all ages have registered.“I think the eldest person to register is one of our farmers – who’s 72,” Ms Wilson said.“We have a lot of people – especially girls – coming on their own, and a lot of people coming from Melbourne.“It’s about just having a bit of fun and breaking the ice.”Ms Wilson said she knew of a few couples who were still together after meeting at the event last year.But she said many of the romances had been fleeting.“Most of the couples who are still together today are on the mature side – a lot of the younger ones seem to have broken up,” she said.Twenty-five-year-old Gordon farmer Stuart Miller said he and his friends had attended last year’s event, and were planning on returning this year.“Everyone I’ve spoken to is pretty much going,” he said.“I met one girl (last year), and we went on a few dates, but that was it.”Mr Miller was coy on whether this year would be the year he found love.“We’ll see what happens,” he said.Tickets to the event are $20 and are available to purchase by contacting5334 0322.
