2025 APPLE FAIR

It feels like a season finale on Netflix. You’ve been on the journey for months…interest has waxed and waned…the final episode made you stay later than planned…but the final ‘ep did not disappoint! 

 

On behalf of the Apple Fair Committee – THANK YOU! Never in our Pink Lady dreams did we expect a turnout and staying power like that. The grinning faces, the muddy shoes and the squeals of delight. Nod your head if at some stage your child uttered, “Best day ever!” or words to that effect. Mission accomplished. 

Besides the big $50k smackers raised, here’s some other figures to knock your socks off:

  • Over 20,000 tickets sold
  • 280 volunteers on the day (this is the official count but we know there were more!)
  • $17,000 raised in the Silent Auction
  • 300 toffee apples, 288 snags and 150 sushi eaten
  • 1.11 fairy floss sold per minute 
  • Lost count – the number of times we checked the forecast 😉

And now for our final act. Every year we ask fair-goers about everything from food, to pricing to rides. It’s a tall order to satisfy the ages, interests and budgets of thousands of people, but we’ll keep asking and tweaking based on your feedback. 

 

If you attended the fair, share your thoughts here – Attendee feedback

If you volunteered on an activity or stall, we would love your input here – Volunteer feedback

 

Let’s do it all again soon!
