November 18 &#8230; in Nanango.<\/p>\n<p>The weekly markets, which originally ran in Kingaroy&#8217;s O\u2019Neill Square every Thursday, were established in late 2013 by the Growing The Burnett horticultural group.<\/p>\n<p>They aimed to provide an outlet for the region\u2019s small acreage farmers to sell their fruit, vegetables and home-made jams and chutneys; and for South Burnett craft workers to sell their wares.<\/p>\n<p>But when Growing The Burnett decided to wind down in 2015, Sandy Towell from Boots\u2019n Bulldust \u2013 Seeds of Hope stepped in to ensure the popular concept kept going.<\/p>\n<p>She renamed the weekly get-together the Makers, Bakers and Growers Markets, but otherwise kept to the original intention of providing an outlet for locals to buy and sell fresh locally-grown foods, locally produced crafts and hard to get health food items.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In July 2016 the markets relocated from O&#8217;Neill Square to a new site opposite Kingaroy Shoppingworld and initially did well at the new location.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>But when the Kingaroy Friendship Markets moved from the Senior Citizens Centre to a much larger site at Kingaroy Showgrounds towards the end of 2016, trade fell off sharply.<\/p>\n<p>At the time, Sandy said Kingaroy didn&#8217;t appear to be big enough to support two markets and a decision to close Makers, Bakers and Growers was taken with great reluctance.<\/p>\n<p>But now the markets have been taken under the wing of Creative Connections, and organisers intend to run them at 8 George Street, Nanango (opposite the Nanango Cultural Centre) every third Saturday between 7:30am and 11:30am.<\/p>\n<p>Organisers told southburnett.com.au the date was chosen to avoid any conflicts with the Nanango Show Society&#8217;s long established Country Markets, which are held on the first Saturday of each month.<\/p>\n<p>Stallholders who&#8217;d like to offer handmade, homemade and homegrown produce at the new markets should email <a href=\"mailto:mbgmarkets@gmail.com?subject=Makers, Bakers and Growers Markets (from southburnett.com.au)\"><b>Sue Paull<\/b><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a
