We are back
The Merbein Street Markets are now under new management, (Merbein Progressive Group Inc.), but still cordinated by Pam Amey. Our Market will have some new ideas and would welcome any suggestions you may have.
We started 12 months ago with 32 stalls and now have grown to approx. 100 stalls. This makes us the biggest in the Sunraysia area.
A great group of stall holders make our market very special with a lovely carnival atmoshere. Some leave home at 3-00am in the morning (Swan Hill) to support our market and be set up by 8-00am .We have stalls from Adelaide Fisheries, Loxton, Berrie,Pomona , Dareton, Nagiloc and Robinvale. The local Schools and Sport Groups Fundraising activities are supported by the market. The Merbein Progressive Group Inc. have now opened an Information and Resource Centre at 85 Commercial Street Merbein. The funding for the new Centre is provided from the profits associated with the Merbein Street Markets. The Information and Resource Centre which is run completely by volunteers, provides assistance to the local Copmmunity and visitors on a daily basis as well as providing Pam an area from which the markets can be coordinated. (Pam's lounge is too small now). If passing by then call in and say hello or Phone on the new number 0427 888 708. All welcome.
So till next month remember, 'Don,t be a porcupine! There is no use having a lot of good points if no one can get close .'
Regards
Pam
