DON’T FORGET TO HEAD TO THE TUGGERANONG "WINTER" MARKET THIS SUNDAY JUNE 29!!!
Celebrate Canberra’s winter and come in from the cold this Sunday 29 June, 2008 with the opening of the “WINTER” indoor art and craft market within the Tuggeranong Community Centre.
“Most markets are held out in the open and it can be bitterly cold in winter”, said organiser Jennine Mayfield. “The Tuggeranong Indoor Community Market will be a warm place for both buyers and sellers to do business without the biting winds and chilling cold.”
The indoor market will feature a range of arts and crafts including aromatherapy, hand-made candles, knitting, hand-crafted jewellery, fashion items and scrap booking supplies. Other stall holders will also be on hand offering quality manufactured goods providing buyers with a range of items to choose from.
"We hope the Markets become a place to shop for bargains and take up the Tuggeranong atmosphere – but even more than that. We hope they will provide local designers, artists and craftspeople the opportunity to sell their work direct to the public and that they act as a launch pad for budding entrepreneurs and anyone working in the creative industries. The Market will also allow local not-for-profit groups, sporting clubs and other organisations access to a local event to conduct fund-raising and awareness. (ie. this month Sunday June 29 we have the Bonython Pre-School hosting a BBQ to fund-raise for new amenties plus the Canberra Greyhound Adoption Service ‘Forever Greys’ running an information and fundraising stall to raise awareness on what they do to rehome Greyhounds)"
The first Tuggeranong Indoor Community “Winter” Market will be held on Sunday, 29 June 2008 at the Tuggeranong Community Centre, Cowlishaw St, Greenway (the building next door to McDonalds) between 10am and 2pm. Entry is free to the public.
The Winter Market theme continues Sunday July 27 and Sunday August 31, 2008 so mark these dates in your diary now.
