Wondai Country Markets & Village Green Official Opening
The Wondai Regional Art Gallery's popular monthly Wondai Country Markets will be operating at Coronation Park in Wondai's CBD from 7:00am to 12:00 noon today, and they'll also form the centrepiece for the official opening of Wondai's Village Green (which will also occur this morning). Today's markets will feature stallholders selling fresh fruit and vegetables, arts and crafts, useful knick-knacks and clothing. There'll also be live entertainment from the evergreen Stolzenberg Brothers, the Wondai Town Band and local choirs; lots and lots of other stalls selling great gifts and goodies; and special hand-made treasures from local artisans available from the Gallery's new "Studio" building just a short stroll across the park. The Wondai Kindergarten's BBQs will also be firing up from 6:45am to dish out hearty breakfasts to early bargain hunters. The official opening of the Village Green will occur at 10:15am, and will be followed by a blessing from Father Michael Carroll at 10:50am. New stallholders are always very welcome (stall fees range from $10 with power and water available, if needed) and you can obtain more details by phoning the Gallery on (07) 4168-5926
