Organising committee members Trish Venn and Heather Brennan said the event was the most popular market yet. 

”It was fantastic,” Ms Brennan said.

“All the feedback I had was positive and we had some lovely articles for sale.

“It was an absolutely beautiful day, we couldn’t have ordered one better.

“There was lots of interesting art, great food and plenty of Christmas goodies to buy.”

Ms Brennan said the group’s yarn bombing in Horsham streets attracted people to the event, with large crowds inspecting stalls throughout the day.

Mrs Venn said the event was a great change for new and established makers to show off their work.

“Sales were very good,” she said. “It’s our major fundraiser of the year and gives exposure to artists and craft people.

“I think it’s a really good thing for the Wimmera.”
