New to this year's exhibition will be a series of raffles, sponsored by A.A. Bin Hindi, in which visitors will be able to win exciting prizes over the nine-day show period, Mr Ebrahim added.
The grand prize draw on the last day of the exhibition will be for a 2008 model Kia Picanto car. Entry to the raffle is free of charge on purchase of an Autumn Fair entry ticket.
