More than 1500 people enjoyed the unique stalls as well as the great variety of food and impressive entertainment the markets offered.
“Crowds of people were entertained by the acrobatic performances of school circus act Bamboozle,” Willaura market co-ordinator Jane Millear said.
“The circus was complemented by stilt walkers parading the grounds of the market.
“Jim the Magician stunned people with his amazing magical acts and local musician Riley Mason sang some great acoustic tunes during the course of the day.”
Ms Millear said the market had broken its attendance record, which the organisers were thrilled about.
“The weather was pleasant up until 12.30pm, then the cloud cleared and shade was highly sought after under trees and umbrellas,” she said.

- First prize of three nights accommodation at Halls Gap, donated by David Shalders and Lyn Webster, was won by Sean McDougall.
- Second prize of a meat package ,donated by Greenvale Meats, was won by Mary Stapleton.
- Third prize of a handbag, donated by Marg Dodds, Arbonne Cosmetics and Ebony Kumnik, was won by Duane Stapleton.
Ms Millear extended her thanks to the community volunteers and everyone who helped make the market a great event.
