November 8, 2013
Kingaroy’s first mid-week markets – held in O’Neill Square on Thursday morning – have been hailed a success.
Growing The Burnett project leader Brian Jarvis said 13 stalls had ben booked in, and another four have already signed up for next week.
The markets, which feature locally grown and harvested produce, other local foodstuffs and crafts, will be held every Thursday from 7:00am to noon until Christmas to trial the concept.
“But we are willing to extend the hours if the market people want it extended,” Brian said.
Everything at the markets has to be made or grown in the South Burnett.
“We are also bound to support local business,” he said.
Cost for a 3m x 3m stall is $10 for members of Growing The Burnett, or $12 for non-members.
