Welcome to all of the members making enquiries about our 2027 Show to be held on April 3rd. The committee has decided to change the way we offer our sites for traders, so please be patient and we will be in touch shortly. All of the 2026 traders will receive the information and can re book from the link we send.

We are hoping that this will free up our band of merry worker to spend more time for the limited helpers we have

For any one reading this and isn't a trader and would like to help please reach out to the committee via our email. There is always a lot to help with.

MT BARKER LIBRARY - EVENT TUESDAY 9TH JUNE - SPECIAL GUEST LIZ HARFULL

I’m hoping you can help get the word out about an event I’m doing in Mt Barker on Tuesday (June 9). It’s a Mt Barker Library event but being held at Laratinga, with morning tea provided by the Mount Barker Lutheran Ladies, who are planning to use some recipes from the book.

Aside from sharing some stories connected with The New Blue Ribbon Cookbook, I’m also planning to talk about the lives of some historic women from the district, including Janet Calaby, Ella Cleggett and Margaret Davenport. I discovered Janet’s story as a direct result of being involved in your show this year, and have since been working with the family in Macclesfield to uncover a remarkable story about her life as a single mother, woman farmer and champion dairy produce exhibitor.

Here is a link for bookings -
