Organisers hope the 2020 campaign will be just as fruitful.

"We're going to turn everything pink, have fun doing it and help make life a little bit easier for individuals and families experiencing breast cancer," the committee said.
"Due to the ongoing restrictions and uncertainty that Covid-19 has caused, we may be limited in what fund raising events we can host, and we understand that not everybody will be in the position to support us like they did last year.
"However, we do hope that the businesses in Berry will once again join us in Pinking Up Our Town."
Businesses can register to 'Pink Up', at a cost of $20 (per business).
They are supplied with pink bunting to kick off their shop decorating and a certificate of participation.
Fundraising ideas include a pink mufti day or pink themed morning tea for a gold coin donation or adding a 'Pink" item to the menu, and donating a percentage of sales.
A team of seamstresses are making fabric face masks, available to purchase from the "The Berry Barn-Let", 116 Queen Street, Berry on Friday, Saturday and Sunday for $10.00 each
There will be a Street Stall in Broughton Court on Saturday, October 3 with handmade items, plants and home baked goodies.
Any donations would be greatly appreciated.
