As customers, it is a great time to keep supporting our local shops and businesses by being kind and understanding.
If it is frustrating for us, I can only imagine how frustrating it is for the business owners and management themselves.

The Tocumwal Foreshore Market on Saturday, January 8 was sadly cancelled due to excessive rain the days prior.
The grass area of the market was so wet, it would have been better suited to ducks than market stalls!
The next Foreshore Market will be held on Saturday, January 22 — fingers crossed for better weather.
Just a reminder, due to Berrigan Shire Council regulations, the Foreshore Market is dog free.
The Foreshore Committee, council and market-goers thank you for your cooperation.
