On a beautiful sunny 28 degree day, the 48th Spring Fair was held on Thursday, October 15 at the Berry showgrounds. Judge Robbie Wilson from Jamberoo placed the 36 Illawarra and Ayrshire exhibits with animals being shown from Berry, Bolong, Terara, Wogamia, Pyree and Tilba. The Judge said he enjoyed his day immensely with the quality of cattle making it a very interesting day in the show ring.
The day ended with a dinner at the Nowra golf Club with the results of the NSW Red On Farm Challenge presented.
