In 2025, the fair was held on Saturday, February 22, at Cubis Park.
Each year, the event serves as a major fundraiser for Eglinton Public School, with around $20,000 raised annually.
To raise these funds, the school organises the stellar event, which includes market stalls, live fire extinguishing displays, dog shows, inflatables and play equipment.
To increase the funds even further, the school also hosted a barbecue on the day, selling tasty treats, including steak sandwiches and a sausage sizzle.
The event also hosted Eglinton-affiliated sporting clubs such as the Eglinton District Football Club and the Eglinton Eels Junior Rugby League Club.
A Western Advocate representative attended the Country Fair and snapped some photos of smiling faces having fun in the sun.
