An estimated crowd of close to 2,000 people attended the main event of Moss Vale Public School's year – their Country Fair in sunny conditions last Friday evening.
Country Fair Convenor and Moss Vale Public School P&C member Saskia Sharp told The Southern Wire she was amazed by the turnout and thanked the community of Moss Vale for turning out in such great numbers.
"What an amazing afternoon," Ms. Sharp said.
"A huge thank you to all of our ride operators, teachers and staff, volunteers, year 6 students, sponsors, donators, cake bakers, food creators, sporting clubs, community groups, activity providers, entertainers, emergency services (and animals)... everyone that helped make this year’s Moss Vale Public School Wild West Country Fair 2026 such a fantastic community event!
"To every single person who helped bring the fair together - thank you!
The school has also been able to help out community organisations by donating their fair props and even the straw bales used.
For instance, the Wild West props will be used by Sutton Forest McDonalds for their Country and Western themed McHappy Day this Saturday November 14, and the straw bales have been donated to Connect Christian Church for them to use at their Christmas carols on Saturday December 12.
Ms. Sharp also announced the winners of the Major Raffle prizes.
"The 1st prize of $1000 cash goes to Sue Burke, and 2nd prize of a two night stay at Dormie House at Moss Vale Golf Club, including breakfast, goes to Rozz Sparks," she said.
"Third prize of a wheelbarrow full of handy goodies donated by Gubbins Mitre 10, Southern Highlands in Moss Vale goes to Sorita Tiwori, and fourth prize of a gourmet hamper of treats from wonderful local businesses including Mrs. Oldbucks Pantry and Mali Mae Bakehouse goes to Brodie Riley.
"Congratulations to all of our winners and thank you to everyone who bought a ticket to support our school!"
