And then there was one - Mount Isa markets dying off

07 Feb, 2012 06:55 AM
IT'S the "last man standing" when it comes to local markets in Mount Isa after the Mount Isa RSL closed its doors on stall holders for the final time.

Now there is only one place for market goers - the Colonial Charity Markets.

They are under new management and plan to expand.

Homemade jewellery and baked goods Colonial Charity Markets stall holder Lorraine Howard said they were looking for more stalls to showcase to shoppers each weekend.

"At the moment we only have about seven stalls up each weekend, but with new management now, we welcome anyone selling everything arts, crafts or edible," she said.

"All the proceeds we make from residents holding a stall site every weekend goes straight back into the Mount Isa community when we donate to a selected charity in the city," she said.

The Colonial Charity Markets are held from 8am to midday at the Colonial Shopping Complex on Camooweal Street.

maybe they should change the location!! Who wants to go there when it is a parkies hang out. Empty goon bags, human faeces& the aroma of stale pee, passed out blacks laying around, not to mention the smell eminating from these corpses. MOVE

Brandy I think your thinking of a different location. This is Colonial, where Red Rooster is.

Total Bulls**t.

Never found it like that. Bit boring in the stall contents but as to the rest of your c**p, your a total oxygen thief.

Getting away from the racist remarks. This is actually the Colonial and People have taken the initiative to start the Markets again. So hopefully more stalls will come. Surely with all the mining expansion going on there are some crafty,artistic people new to the area who would like to display and sell their wares.
