THE final ‘Funkya at Unkya’ Market for 2022 was held on Sunday 11 December in blissful sunshine with smooth entertainment delivered by the ‘Haig Brothers’.

With many Christmas shopping needs catered for, visitors enjoyed strolling through the pine lined avenue shading the several dozen stalls that offered handmade, bespoke and unique gifts and snacks such as bacon and egg roll, drinking Holy Goat coffee and topping up on fresh fruit, veggie and seedlings, and relaxing while listening to the Haig Brothers as they got their groove on.

Old friends and new from our local community were tempted to buy a raffle ticket, or three, in the Unkya Christmas hamper raffle, which was drawn at 11 am, with all funds raised going to pay to replace and refill the planned new shed with all the contents lost in the November fire.

CWA President Diana Oakes presented Jenny Gibson from the Unkya Reserve Committee with a donation of funds raised to aid in the fire recovery.

The market is usually a bi-monthly grass roots market with a ‘make it, bake it, sew it, grow it, recycle it’ philosophy.

Local products and produce are showcased and workshops are planned as often as possible.

The 2023 market season is scheduled to commence on Sunday 26 January.
