Champion Exhibit – Livia Degany Fruit Basket.
In a difficult season and with watering restrictions, Kangaroo Island’s gardeners have again excelled, presenting a wonderful display of produce.
Long time exhibitor Kath Hall continued her leadership and was joined by newcomer Livia Degany.
Leon Wilksch made a welcome return to the Show.
The Silverbeet section was particularly competitive with Gordon Turner successful.
The exotic fruit was challenging for the judge with Monstera, tamarilloes, Lady Finger Bananas and Pepino to adjudicate.
Wonderful exhibits from Samuel Wooley, Kate Faint, Tristan Griffiths and Sarah Pike showed a bright hope for the future.
Thanks to Paul Munn for his encouragement of the juniors.
Well done to all exhibitors and prize donors.
