PRESIDENTS INVITATION

Welcome to the 2009 Karoonda Farm Fair Prospectus.

This will be a celebration of 25 years for the Karoonda Farm Fair. During this time we have seen some amazing growth and continuing improvements taking place. From a small one day event, with an audience of about 250 we are now a well established part of the regional calendar, attracting between 10-12 thousand people over two days. This has not happened by accident. Careful planning and widespread promotion has given us this result and I am confident this will again be the case in 2009.

With the current weather situation and uncertainty in global finance, I believe it is even more important than ever for you to promote your business. The Karoonda Farm Fair provides an excellent opportunity to connect with the farming community and build up relationships with new clients based on trust and understanding and to consolidate with existing ones. You will have an excellent chance to talk face to face to an audience of potentially 10-12 thousand people over two glorious days.

Once again the Fair will provide an interesting and exciting selection of exhibits from the diverse attractions of the Murraylands Region. It is fantastic to see the range of livestock displays, trade sites, education, health, fashion parades, craft stands, competitions and exciting entertainment that can fill the day.

We look forward to your involvement in the 2009 Farm Fair. With such a wide range of attractions, this truly regional event offers so much for your business or organisation in a relaxed, country atmosphere. For any enquiries or bookings, look us up on the net or contact Ray Bald, Manager of the Farm Fair, who will give you prompt attention.

I either thank you for your continued support or welcome you as a new site holder and hope to see you at the 25th Karoonda Farm Fair in 2009.
