23.01.2022 Sunday was our last Calliope Markets for the year of 2020 and I'd like to acknowledge our hard working men on both shifts. They were a source to be reckon with from serving to plating up and even right to the bitter end the packing up and cleaning up. I haven't forgotten about us women who were there as well. But thanks to all our Rotarians, family members and friends who helped out throughout the year. A big thank you to our customers who supported us locally and those visiting, without your contributions to buying our products we would not be able to put back into our Community.
