October Market

Are we good? another 108 stalls with such a wide variety of products. The out of town visitors commented "what a great Market" one of the best we have seen in our travels.
Another visitor " what a great atmosphere & every one is so friendly " we have come along way from when we started 18 months ago, with 32 stalls and 700/800 people. Now we have over 100 stalls each month with approx 1200 people in attendance.
We had the Knight Templers in there chain mail and Maid Marion and her Knaves wandering the Market handing sweets to the patrons. We had Longroad Duo singing that kept feet tapping. A lot of Xmas Gifts are starting to appear on the stalls.
So till next month.

September Market


Windy Windy Windy but we still had a great time with 115 stalls. Thanks to those who supported our raffle out side the Merbein Progressive Group office( the information centre ). this does help with the cost of running the market.

Dougie's Seafood from the Adelaide Markets is proving very popular and certainly compliments the lovely range of fresh fruit and veg's stalls.

Free range eggs from Loxton and Olive Oil and products from Robinvale, Dried nuts and fruit from Nagiloc. Home made chocolates from Broken Hill, Beautiful craft and Bric a Brac, just how many clever people live in our district. We have a market with something for every one. Chooker Williams ,Country music backed by Long Road Duo had the toes tapping and the rock and roll dancers provided the entertainment. Sausage sizzle, Pancake stall, Popcorn and candy floss with Muffins, Cakes, Biscuits, no need for anyone to be hungry All our food shops are open with second hand and antique traders showing their wares

Our next market is looking good with 98 stalls booked in already. So we hope to see you all there. Pam
