The annual Strawberry Fare usually attracts up to 12,000 people to the South Canterbury town each year.
Instead, four berry farmers have joined forces to host A Berry Affair today at Butlers Fruit Farm on State Highway 1.
Farmer Ronald Butler first started selling strawberries in 1967 and helped establish the Strawberry Fare 30 years ago. My wife Jackie and I thought we should do something about the strawberry industry because every year in the second week of December there are strawberries everywhere, so we wanted to promote them.
The fare was so successful the Waimate District Council took it over and held it in the town ever since.
