September 12 – 14, <strong>2020</strong><br />

have stock and want to support the local market.<br />
I urge you to buy local, support local and I know many are providing terms to assist retailers. Based on<br />

At the time of writing, the Fair is proceeding, and we are mobilising some great initiatives and plans.<br />
I am pleased to advise that the four buying groups will have a strong focus at this year’s Fair. This<br />
will ensure all the buying is on the show floor, making it as easy and well-connected as possible.<br />
Stay strong, the Australian spirit and fight will shine through.<br />
