Twilight Christmas Market
It is getting closer! Christmas is coming and it's time to start shopping for those special gifts and nic nacks that we all need to make the season special. This Saturday 21st November from 4pm - 8pm in the Meeanee Hall we have our annual Christmas market. Santa will be there for the kids (big and small) and there will be a lovely Christmas Hamper to be won (one draw for every purchase you make). Come after work or when you have done your chores for the day and enjoy the festive spirit while you shop or browse the 30 or so stalls with quality, well priced goodies.
