WANT to see what community spirit looks like? Then head to the annual Willaura Healthcare Outdoor Market this Sunday. The annual event is run by the Willaura Healthcare Auxiliary, which won the 2019 Australia Day Community Spirit Award for its years of dedicated fundraising through the market. The market began fourteen years ago with just 12 stalls but this Sunday will see the biggest one to date, with over 70 stalls expected to be set-up. Market stalls will include jams, preserves, homewares, metal art, cards, jewelry, art and craft, chocolate, fudge, plants, soy candles and more. Over the past 13 years the Willaura Healthcare Outdoor Market has raised more than $70,000 for Willaura Healthcare, which has included new furnishings and fittings, equipment, as well as activities and outings for residents. Willaura Healthcare Auxiliary member and market coordinator Jane Millear said lots was planned for the family-friendly day. “Not only will we have stalls packed with homemade and home grown goods, but we will have music and children’s entertainment,” she said. “Popular music duo SOFT and the Ararat City Band will perform for the crowd, while Ararat 800 Primary School’s Bamboozle Circus troupe will amaze with their skills. "Children’s entertainment will include a jumping castle, mini-golf and trackless train and for motorcar enthusiasts, vintage cars will be on display. "Gourmet food and coffee and the Willaura Auxiliary’s Tea House will also be at the market." The market will be adjacent to Willaura Healthcare in Delacombe Way, Willaura, and will run from 10am to 2pm.
