Despite the rain, the second Tatura Market for the year was a big success.
Held on Saturday, November 30, the market was originally meant to be held outside at Stuart Mock Plc, but was moved indoors to Victory Hall as the weather tried to unsuccessfully dampen the town’s spirits.
The market was stocked full of Christmas goodies, with handcrafted goods and boutique items on sale.
City of Greater Shepparton Mayor Shane Sali said he was pleased with the amount of support the market received despite the wet weather.
“The Tatura Market was a fantastic display of what makes Greater Shepparton such a special place,” he said.
“It was incredible to see so many locals, along with visitors from outside Greater Shepparton, come together despite the weather and support our local businesses.
“These markets take an immense amount of work to organise, so it was impressive to see such a great turnout.”
Council’s place manager Bonnie McIntosh said she was thankful of the support the market and surrounding businesses received.
“Seeing everyone enjoy the stalls and entertainment and then continuing to explore the local shops in the surrounding area was truly special,” she said.
“Events like these are so important, and we look forward to continuing them in the future.”
