Merbein Market volunteer saves hawk.

Thursday morning a little hawk was found a wee bit hung over. The little hawk had either been hit by a carb or crashed into the window of Bargain Basement. Volunteer Rob Nelson took the feathered friend to the vets where they quickly took over in haste to aide the hawk. We are sure it has survived and soon be back in the wild.

Merbein's next Market will be on the 17th March. For all attending whether it be stallholders or bargain hunters, don't forget it is also St Patrick's Day, so come in the spirit of the little leprechaun and wear something green. As usual we will have stalls of all goods, fresh produce, bric a brac, used and new goods, food stuffs, snags. See you all there.
