Kilmore Scout Market is returning next month, bringing with it a range of products and homemade goods from more than 50 stallholders.
Set for Kilmore’s Hudson Park, the market is expected to draw more than 1500 people once it is re-established.
It’s been three years since the last market, which was at Kilmore Racecourse where it would often attracted more than 1000 visitors. Prior to that, the market was at Hudson Park.
Kilmore Scouts leader-in-charge Martin Shaw said the group was optimistic about the market’s return and hoped it would benefit from Kilmore’s growth.
“We’re hoping with it being at Hudson Park that it will generate more traffic from the main street, and Kilmore’s grown so it should be bigger than ever,” he said.
“With the economy tightening, people are often looking for a bargain and markets are generally the place to go for that sort of thing.”
Products on offer will include produce, plants and seedlings, jams, bread, baked goods, clothing, jewellery and handmade crafts. A sausage sizzle will also be available.
Proceeds will go towards supporting Scouts memberships and future events.
“Events like this help to bring down costs for parents and families, as well as supporting future camps and activities,” Mr Shaw said.
“It’s about making sure the kids and their families have the best possible experience with everything we can offer.”
The market will be on the fourth Saturday of each month, beginning on April 22.
