Roll up, roll up for the next Junior Artisans’ Market
The first of its kind, the recent Matakana Junior Artisans’ Market was met with great enthusiasm from the local community, and children and adults alike had a fabulous time on the day.
Over 80 local, young entrepreneurs gathered to display their creativity
across some 50 stalls at the first ever Junior Artisans’ Market in Matakana. Izzy Wagstaff and Lucy Howlett did a fantastic job organising the incredible event, giving their peers a platform to showcase their creative talents. Through the girls' efforts and the generous support of the Harcourts Cooper & Co ‘Coffee & Cone’ truck, over $900 was raised for their chosen charity partner, Country Retreat Animal Sanctuary.
Helen and Gavin from the retreat were blown away by the support: “Because
of your hard work we have found lovely homes for two of our pups and possible homes for another two.” The money raised also meant they were able to help some pups that needed urgent medical attention.
