- OXLEY BUSH MARKET NEEDS YOUR HELP
We’re ready to start planning the 45th Oxley Bush Market set for Saturday 31st October this year, but we can’t do it without you.
We have been incredibly fortunate to receive a three-year grant from the Rural City of Wangaratta’s Tourism Event Program. This funding provides us with extra resources to boost our entertainment and advertising promotions.
So we want “your ideas” to make sure we get it right and we really need constructive-helpful feedback on what you love and what we could do to improve this years market.
Complete the Survey
The survey should take less than three minutes and there is a “Prize”. Once completed, you will be then entered into the draw for a coffee and cake voucher for two at the King River Cafe but; only you complete the survey by 30th June.
We ask you to <click> on this survey link https://tinyurl.com/oxleybushmarketsurvey and have your say.
Please consider joining the Oxley Market Planning Committee
We’re looking for new faces and fresh ideas to assist with the behind-the-scenes planning and organisation. You don’t need special skills, just a keen enthusiasm for supporting our fantastic local community.
So if you can make it, pop along to the Planning Meeting at 7pm on Tuesday 30 June at the Oxley Shire Hall.
