Celebrating the seasons changing: April Market Highlights
Logan Park was buzzing this past Saturday as we celebrated the arrival of Autumn with our community, the energy was incredible from the moment the first coffee was poured at 8:30 am.
Pumpkin Competition & Treasure Hunt
The park was filled with little explorers taking part in our Autumn themed Treasure hunt and our Pumpkin Competition! We called on Local green thumbs to bring down their homegrown pumpkins, with two Categories;
1: For the Largest homegrown
2: For the most Unique looking!
The winner of the Largest Pumpkin came in at a whooping 27.8KG! And the most Unique looking pumpkin was turned into a Swan named George. Our incredible community member winners were gifted a hamper full of items from our market stallholders. Thank you again to everyone that came down to support our competition and admire the incredible pumpkins.

We also Spotted Mary Aldred enjoying herself at the Market as she picked some beautiful Heirloom pumpkins to take back to her desk in Canberra.
Local Beats
We welcomed back the incredible Act Warragul Acoustic unplugged group. Their Live set provided the best backdrop for a morning of shopping and catching up with neighbours under the autumn sun.
