In the new Year Chris Westwood and I had a coffee and Floated an idea for a street market in Merbein to try and boast the traders sales in our economically hard times. With hurdles of Council requirements, Vic roads, Town planers and Insurance. We finally had our first market on the 3rd Sunday of April on a trial basses.
Chris was Flying overseas that morning and spent all morning at the air port on the phone to me. 32 stalls and it so exciting. 5 markets later and approx 80 stalls it looks to be a permanent feature of Merbeins calendar.The feed back from the public and community is very encouraging and i feel we have achieved what we set out to do by bringing people into our town and creating carry on sales. More involvement and help from any one interested would be appreciated.
Another MDA great achievement.
