Trade Day report

By Nan Cleven

A busy, bustling Trade Day for the second of our spring markets, maintaining the tradition as one of our busiest for the year. There were some bleary eyes about – post-AFL celebrations for Magpies supporters as well as adapting to the new daylight-savings time for the rest of us!

« Buyers were out and about early – all lined up and set to start as the bell sounded to signify opening for the day.

Although hosting two markets in one month, business was brisk at the second of our October markets, continuing from our busy start to spring.

With the milder weather and longer daylight hours, buyers were about early – it was difficult to hold them back to the 7 am start time – they were ‘off and running’ in our pre-Cup market.
