Kathy Cope will be the face of The Handmade Expo in Kingaroy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

October 23, 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kingaroy business owner Kathy Cope is helping to bring Ipswich’s popular “The Homemade Expo” to Kingaroy.<\/p>\n

The expo was begun four years ago by mother and daughter team Micky and Liesa (twin sisters) and mother Miriam.<\/p>\n

The family had a passion for both markets and handmade goods. Having travelled around south-east Queensland to attend different markets, they realised there was nothing like a fully handmade-only market in Ipswich. And the idea quickly caught on …<\/p>\n

The Handmade Expo is now a permanent fixture on the events calendar in Ipswich and has travelled widely, including to Goondiwindi, Warwick, the Jondaryan Woolshed, Forest Hill and Laidley.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to bring to Kingaroy what we are so lucky to have here in Ipswich. A market with such talented stallholders creating anything you can imagine,\u201d said Miriam Bain, a partner in the market.<\/p>\n

Kathy Cope, who operates the Kingaroy cake shop Cake & Whimsy, will be the face of The Handmade Market in Kingaroy.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wanted to find someone with the local knowledge of what the locals want, has a passion for handmade and the knowledge of shop local \/ spend local, so all the advertising, signage and everything else is done locally. We are all very passionate about shopping local,\u201d Micky said.<\/p>\n

The market will be run for the first time in the Kingaroy Town Hall on Sunday, November 18, from 9:00am to 2:00pm.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The market aims to give local home-based handmade businesses an opportunity to have a regular shopfront, as well as attracting existing stallholders who currently attend the Ipswich market.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have such a large following that we know a lot of people will attend from all around south-east Queensland. This will become a tourist market that people will want to stop and have a look at, bringing people to the lovely town of Kingaroy,\u201d Liesa said.<\/p>\n

The Handmade Expo is looking for local stallholders, so if you are a \u201chandmadie\u201d, foodie, grower, busker or facepainter, and fit within the guidelines of the market, visit their website<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe have booked in for the next 12 months and we are confident that you are going to love The Handmade Expo as much as we do,” Miriam said.<\/p>\n

The Handmade Expo will be at Kingaroy Town Hall and the Glendon Street Forecourt from 9:00am to 2:00pm on Sundays: \u00a0November 18, December 16, February 17, March 17 and April 21.<\/p>\n
