Reynella - Grand Opening!

Raffle Table

Last weekend Once Upon A Market had its very first market at the new Reynella Venue! And boy was it an exciting day!!

Having a new venue meant lots of new work on top of our Littlehampton market but it sure was worth it in the end. A new venue also meant lots of new stalls and new talents which was amazing to see and even more amazing to showcase!!

Our day started off fairly early as me and my Once Upon A Market crew heading to the venue with a helium tank to blow up 50 Purple balloons to help draw in the crowds from the intersection and main road! and i'm glad I did!!

Just Chips SA

We had lots of yummy food on the day including Just Chips SA who were outside with their bright red gazebo ready to serve our very cold customers with some delicious cones of hot chips with some of the very best seasonings in Adelaide to go on top! They also had some of their brand new items, Sweet Potato Fries and Hash Browns! Yep we were very lucky that day!!

A few steps away from them were the Reynella Neighbourhood Centre Team who kindly organised a Sausage Sizzle for us and fundraised for the centre itself which was fantastic!!

Inside the building my own Once Upon A Market team  also kept everybody warm with Coffee, Tea and Hot Chocolate as well as some banana bread, scones and raisin toast! Yum!!

Outside we were also lucky enough to have some super scrumdidliumptious sweets from Fairy Floss Galore/Sweet and Sour.....I enjoyed quite a few of these delicious straps! and had to go back to get some more to take home for my kids!! they had an absolutely amazing selection of flavours that tickle both the sweet and sour fans!! My favourite was Lychee and Tutti Frutti!!
