From a mug valued at about $2500 to a teddy bear collection, there was something for every one at this year’s Berwick Antique and Collectible Fair.
Run by the Rotary Club of Rowville-Lysterfield, the event on Sunday 20 October at the Berwick Leisure Centre included about 40 stalls filled with rare antiques, unique collectibles, and vintage treasures, with about 700 antique enthusiasts making their way through the doors.
Project co-ordinator Stephen Palamara said all proceeds from the event would go directly to the Knox Nocturnals Youth Program, a vital initiative that provides support and social inclusion for vulnerable young people in the Knox area.
“Not only does the fair bring together a fantastic variety of stallholders and collectors, but it also allows us to give back to the community by supporting the Knox Nocturnals Youth Program,“ he said.
Rotarian David Freeman from AAauctions.com.au provided his valuations for a donation with one lady bringing in a mug she bought recently at a fair, which was valued at about $2500.
