Market day a winner

FAMILIES enjoyed a morning of fun activities at Sunday’s Cohuna Farmers and Makers Market, celebrating the start of school holidays.

While parents were able to browse the many stalls, children were spoiled for choice with fun and engaging physical activities.

Thanks to the support of Northern District Community Health, the morning’s main attraction was a towering rock-climbing wall that had children conquering the heights.

Also a hit were the minigolf course, table tennis tables and disc golf holes, which kept the kids moving all morning.

Always a popular attraction, the face-painting tent had lines of children waiting in the morning sun to choose their favourite design.

The morning was soundtracked by local performer Elise Drake, who performed a set full of classic hits and Australian favourites.
