Suburban sale a big success
HUNDREDS of people enjoyed the beautiful weather last Sunday to take part in Machans Beach’s annual ‘Super Suburb Sale Day’.
D y m p n a Leonard (right) of the Machans Beach Community Association said the suburb’s streets were crowded with bargain hunters.
“At the school, the P&C team sold out of brekkie burgers while the Machans Beach Community Association (MBCA) gave out 270 maps that showed the streets of Machans and the addresses of 37 garage sales,” she said.
“Many drivers chose to park and walk, using the map to find the yellow signs outside each garage sale.
“At the community hall, nine trash and treasure tables were bustling while there was a roaring trade in coffee and cake.
“A highlight of the day was the raffle drawn at midday in the hall, with fabulous prizes for six lucky winners.”
Ms Leonard said the event raised funds for the P&C for their work for the Machans Beach State School and over $3000 for the Machans Beach Community Association to help keep the community hall open and operating.
