FAMILIES flocked to Leslie Park on Saturday to enjoy and participate in a variety of activities, browse an array of stalls and enjoy loads of free entertainment.
The first Warwick Uber Markets was the brainchild of Christie Russell, who has been busy planning the monthly event since January.
“I really felt like Warwick needed something that the entire community can do and connect with each other,” she said. “I wanted teenagers to come and engage and have some fun and wanted to have some free children’s activities, because many people are short on money and things can get expensive when you have a few kids.”
Ms Russell said there were about 60 stalls that included everything from plants, fruits and vegetables, to clothes and candles.
There are already 80 stalls signed up for next month’s market, which will include wood-fired pizzas and the community disaster relief van.
Ms Russell said she also hoped to have crafts, workshops and competitions with prizes.
“It is a lot of work, but I am very pleased with how it turned out,” she said.
The Warwick Uber Markets is held on the second Saturday of every month from 10am-4pm. Anyone interested in holding a stall, at a cost of $20, can contact Ms Russell on 0457 600 082 or message her through the Facebook Page, www.facebook.com/warwickubermarket.
