Many thoughts raced through my mind as I lay listening to the much needed rain on Saturday night, but someone was watching over us and when the sun came out in all its glory I knew that we would have perfect conditions for all the Merbein Marketeers!
WE had a lovely day with over 70 stalls braving enough the weather conditions.
Free pony rides were very popular with the little folk as was the hot bread, pies and pasties that were a sell out with the Mums and Dads.
Our shop traders were truly satisfied with the people explosion in the little town of Merbein. One elderly lady likened the atmosphere to ”just like the end of the war when we danced in the street” and so they danced on Sunday to” Big Bad John ”who was playing live and selling his CDs at a fast pace.
With the very enticing prize of $100 in petrol on the cards, the Market raffle sold quickly and who would not want that as a prize! The raffle winner was Halley Treffene , Ticket number Black D82
These markets are a hard act to follow as they just get bigger and better each time. We are so proud of our community spirit and now having interstate visitors as well as stall holders from as far as Broken Hill the future is very bright.
So with that happy note I will leave you with this quote: “If someone is too tired to give you a smile, leave one of your own, because no one needs a smile as much as those who have none to give “

P.S: Some exciting news coming out of the market, we have been nominated for the “Regional Achievement & community Awards” to be announced in Bendigo in October so stay tuned!
