Avenel's twilight market returns

By WENDY WILLINGHAM THE Avenel Annual Twilight Christmas Market is on again. The market is all about community, celebration, fun, laughter and family and friends enjoying time together. Save the date on your calendar: Saturday, December 14, from 4pm to 8.15pm at Jubilee Park, Avenel. All the usual amazing stalls will be there plus loads of extras, all fitting the "make it, bake it, grow it" theme that Avenel Market is renowned for. Great food vans will celebrate different cultures, including Asian, Argentinian, Turkish, Indian and Italian. The local scout group will also be cooking up a storm on the community BBQ. Finish off your meal with all sorts of delicious sweets and treats, along with local wine, boutique beer, gin and mocktails to add to the festive spirit. Bring along a chair or picnic blanket to soak up the atmosphere under the shade of the beautiful Jubilee Park trees while listening and singing along to music from local band The Skerricks, kindly funded through Inland Rail. Snake Safe are coming along to showcase their reptiles. Children or those young at heart can also add some sparkle to their faces from our very talented and creative face painter, again kindly funded through Inland Rail. The local CFA truck will be in attendance, and of course, Santa. Jubilee Park will be abuzz with activity to complete your Christmas shopping and get everyone into the festive spirit. Remember to bring coins for the Christmas raffle, with items from every stall up for grabs. Check out the Avenel Christmas lights after dark too. They are always worth a look.
