The Annual Proserpine Whitsunday Swap Meet and Markets which is being run by the Freemasons of Proserpine every year is on again on Saturday 18th April at the Proserpine Showgrounds with gates opening from 6 am.
Everyone is welcome to attend whether it be participating in having a stall & selling unwanted goods or market produce or just wanting to pick up a great bargain.
For people who have not attended a swap meet before, it is simply very easy to explain. It is very similar to a flea market but it has more variety of stalls ranging from antiques, collectables, ( farm & industrial ) tools, machinery etc as well as your regular clothing & jewellery stalls.
It is also very good for someone who has an upcoming garage sale. This might be a better time to have it with a larger volume of people attending this event rather than having people come to your own home.
For those with families their will be something for everyone with vintage cars & stationery engine displays, cosmetic, clothing and jewellery displays and face painting for the children. Their will also be a canteen and bar open all day and evening entertainment.
So if you would like to just come along and have a look on the day all it is going to cost you is a gold coin gateway donation with these proceeds being donated to local charities.
Or if you want more information on wanting to have a stall and to book a site you can contact Wayne on 49471024 or Bill on 49471542.
The Whitsunday Catchment Landcare meeting this Tuesday evening is an opportunity to be informed about the proposed CHALCO alumina refinery for Abbot Point, Bowen with a talk and presentation by Julie Ling of CHALCO
