August Street Market

Cold, Cold, Cold but still 70+ stalls. No doubt we can expect September 21st to be much warmer weather.

Very positive news in that most stalls reported a brisk trade especially our garage sale style stalls. Elders forecourt was a sell out and more stall holders want to be there as there are deeper sites for pergola’s and so on.

Congratulations to the Girl Guides who had a great success with their sausage sizzle. With Rotary lining up for the next sausage sizzle, the girls will be waiting with great anticipation for their next turn.

Our local schools are excited with their fund raising stalls selling Jelly cakes & citrus faster that the running Jamaican in Beijing!

The Uniting Church and Chaffey Aged Care were happy with their efforts; it’s really great to see all our local community getting behind the market, this really makes all the hard work seem worth while.

The RSL was open showing the memorabilia and had a steady crowd through their rooms. It is a credit to them and well worth the look.

Our market day raffle was won by Kellie Frazer with orange ticket D. 011 sold by Murphy’s takeaways. The raffle is proving to be very popular with market goers!

As the market moves into the future the organisers welcome any comments. We are open to any suggestions to improve our market. Comments can be sent to merbeinmarket@gmail.com or phoned through to market coordinator Pam Amey on 03 5025 1284.
