The Seaforth Markets


The Seaforth Markets are run every Sunday, unless the weather is not fair, 8 -
11.  They have 15 - 20 regular stall holders ranging from books, art and
craft, fresh fruit and veg, jams, cakes, preserves.
They are situated under the mango trees in the park on Palm Avenue,
passed the  ambulance station.
They normally charge $10 per site (but are waving that fee for us as we
are doing a community service).  Monies raised go to the Progress and
Sports Association.  At the moment they are doing a community project to
build an under cover area near the tennis court.
It is a pleasant drive to an old fashion country market.

International Talk like a Pirate Day in Airlie Beach - Saturday September 20, 2008

International Talk like a Pirate Day in Airlie Beach – Saturday September 20, 2008 – Everyone likes to talk like a pirate so in a town like Airlie you can also dress up like a pirate and have some fun. The Pirates of the Whitsundays are the polite pirates who use their manners and say please and thank you, and ensure that visitors always come first.
 
Anyone can have their own party, dress up and talk like a pirate. If raising money for charity is your thing, send the treasure to VMR. Or is that VMAAARRRRRRRR!
 
 
Aargh! Aye!
