WHAT better way to complete a weekend away on the Granite Belt than to sample a host of local produce and wares?
This theory was put into practice last Sunday with the Fresh Fest markets setting up shop at Stanthorpe’s Lions Park.
Upwards of 800 visitors and locals, many nursing hangovers from Stanthorpe Rocks the night before, browsed more than 40 stalls offering unique artisan products and food and drinks while free music filled the air.
Organiser Jonno Colfs said it made sense to host the recovery event, which was made possible with the help of Granite Belt Wine and Tourism and Southern Downs media.
“We began organising this months and months ago to give the punters something to do on Sunday morning,” he said.
Mr Colfs said it was likely he would hold the markets to coincide with Stanthorpe Rocks again next year.
