An absolute cracker of a day at the new Snowy Community Market location in Leesville. Today was a sellout!!! It was packed from open to close with everyone getting speedy ahead of Christmas.
I’m going to have to get cracking to get more stock ready for this Saturday’s Berridale Lion’s Christmas Fair.
After unpacking the car this arvo, it was straight back into making marshmallow, cookie dough and pastry cream.
