QUE Open Gardens ‘N’ Markets Success

October 12, 2023 By Lynn Rogers

The Que Club joined “Pink up Parkes” by inviting Di Green, our local McGrath Breast Care Nurse to have a pink stall on the day. Dianne with the support of her daughter, Tarlia (pictured) and husband Rowan were
selling both McGrath merchandise and Breast Cancer Network of Australia (BCNA) merchandise.

Sunday was a spectacular day and the community came out to support us.

Close to 400 people came through the gates at the Parkes Racecourse to enjoy the 22 market stalls, our morning teas and lunches. The venue looked fabulous and four different bands played and sang throughout the day, the upbeat music added to the atmosphere. The bands were Parkes Fijian Band, Tapestry, Parkes Ukulele Group, and the Parkes Town Band.

The raffle raised over $2,000 and the winners were Jeanette Lyneham, Ida McIntyre and Margaret Jones. The five garden owners were kept busy all day.
