The Village Markets ravaged by QLD weather
The Village Markets were off to a lovely start, on a crisp winter morning and with plenty of early shoppers. Then without warning, a thunder storm, with extreme winds hit and left some severe damage to marquees and stock and unfortunately this resulted in the markets finishing early.
But not to worry, The Village Markets will be back on July 5, bigger and better than ever.
