With the Orange weather warning stall holders and shoppers were glad to be inside for the market on Saturday in the Cove Bar. It was a packed house with stalls filled with lovely fresh produce, fruit veg, eggs, jams, relish, homebaking. Mary was back on Saturday with her own confectionery and was also selling Eabha's cakes, as she couldn't be there. Colette was busy with her cards for occasions and looking forward to her calendar which has gone to print recently. The date for the Annual Christmas Market has been announced and it will be held on Saturday, December 7, in the GAA social centre. Please take note and put that date in your diary. The producers were also discussing Halloween and what treats they will have in store for the bank holiday weekend. If you wish to preorder any of the produce on sale give Margaret a call on 087 6337215 and just drop by and pick up.
