And then there was one - Mount Isa markets dying off

07 Feb, 2012 05:06 PM
IT'S the "last man standing" when it comes to local markets in Mount Isa after the Mount Isa RSL closed its doors on stall holders for the final time.

Now there is only one place for market goers - the Colonial Charity Markets.

They are under new management and plan to expand.

Homemade jewellery and baked goods Colonial Charity Markets stall holder Lorraine Howard said they were looking for more stalls to showcase to shoppers each weekend.

"At the moment we only have about seven stalls up each weekend, but with new management now, we welcome anyone selling everything arts, crafts or edible," she said.

"All the proceeds we make from residents holding a stall site every weekend goes straight back into the Mount Isa community when we donate to a selected charity in the city," she said.

The Colonial Charity Markets are held from 8am to midday at the Colonial Shopping Complex on Camooweal Street.
