Dear Traders and Visitors, we at Kympatti Bears are most concerned and fully aware of the current Worldwide economic situation.  For this reason, we have made the decision NOT to hold our fair in 2009.  After experiencing the economic downturn during several of our overseas trips this year at major events, because we are Traders, we realize how expensive travel has become, even within Australia.  The financial burden, will hopefully improve as confidence returns.

As organizers of the fair, It is our intention to have a "Fair Extravaganza" or International Convention in the year of 2010 and would much appreciate your expression of interest for this event. We intend to have an extensive workshop program with Visiting Artists and much more.

No doubt you are all aware that we have been Traders ourselves for twenty years now.  We have experienced the same highs and lows that many of you have.  As Traders, we understand how much planning is needed even to attend a local show, let alone how much is involved with Interstate and Overseas exhibiting.  We feel that this "Fair Extravaganza" will be more viable for Traders and Visitors alike.  Rather than risk the expenses of a doubtful success during the current economical climate. 

We want to take this opportunity to thank you all for your valued support and loyalty over the last eight years.  Patti, Graham and Kryst, hope that you will all want to be involved in 2010. We have always been very proud of the event held in the past and  would welcome any of your suggestions and ideas  to create more interest and enthusiasm within our industry and in turn will create a "Fair to be remembered in 2010".
