Loved going there as a child. Chair-o-planes, ferris wheel and so many side shows. Loved looking at the who won best cake, longest runner bean and so many other entries of veges, preserves, cakes the list goes on. Watching the horses in the centre of the park, now all that is left is long grass and memories. Shame our children & grandchildren never got to experience it.

We went each year, so sure to be there somewhere. Miss those great toffee apples and dolls on sticks

I was at the fair in the stand with dad and Jack Guy. It was late fifties I think and the army was putting on a display with a helicopter. It was the first time we’d seen one. The old man said to Jack . “ That’s the end of the deer.” Jack said you reckon? Not a bad prophecy lol. Thirty years later there were hardly any left.

I remember being there when a young woman/girl who didn’t have her belt done up…flew off and landed on the Cupie doll stall…..it actually broke her fall and she wasn’t badly injured.
Gee…imagine that today….health n safety would be onto it quick smart ?
