Market day a huge success for Fraser Shores residents

FRASER Shores 2 recently held a much-anticipated market day, attracting a huge crowd to the complex.

Denise Lewis, a resident of Fraser Shore and a member of the organising committee, heralded the day as a huge success.

“This was our very first market day. It has been on the card for a while, but Covid got in the way and spoiled our plans,” Denise said.

“We have had smaller events in the past, but this is the largest thing we have done.”

Across the village, which is home to more than 280 residents, a strong community feel was brought to the ambitious project.

“It was an opportunity for those who are particularly crafty to make and sell goods and also a great chance for a lot of residents to de-clutter.”

“The event was covered on Channel 7 and we erected posters on the outside of the village on Nissen Street. It was also featured on a lot of social media pages.”

“Once the first one hundred people came through the door, we stopped counting. It was a wonderful day.”

The market day will now be planned as an annual project for Fraser Shores, given the success of the inaugural event.

“Ideas for the next event are already flowing and the residents are still buzzing about it.”

“We planned this event for months in advance and had so many volunteers assisting us. The sense of accomplishment was amazing for the residents and gave us all something to look forward to and focus on.”

“The next day we held a morning tea feedback session to understand how we could improve the market Day in the future, as well as an opportunity to thank stall holders and volunteers.”
