Set up your street stall at Frost

Locals invited to sell wares at Frost

Community groups and Barraba individuals are invited to make the most of Frost Over Barraba visitor trade on Saturday 2 September and set up a stall on Queen Street. Frost attracts a lot of visitors to Barraba. This year Frost is on Thursday 31 August to Sunday 3 September. The biggest day for visitors will be Saturday 2 September. In recent years more than 1000 people have visited on Frost Saturdays. As well as the iconic Art Show there will be music and other attractions in Queen Street.

The Saturday Queen Street stalls can sell food or wares, but Frost asks for the goods to be made here. “Baking, jewellery, honey, fruit and vegies, knitted items, a sausage sizzle…these are the sort of stalls we are hoping Barraba people may set up on Frost Saturday,” says Frost’s Street Coordinator, Stacey Sedgwick.

Any person or group interested in operating a stall are asked to get in touch with Frost. This helps Frost with planning the Development Application. It also allows the Frost team to plan where and when stalls are operating to best advantage the operators. For instance, two cake stalls wouldn’t be best next to each other. Frost will also publicise the stalls. A stall can operate for a portion, or the whole of Saturday. To discuss your plans, talk to one of the Frost Street team: Stacey Sedgwick, Andy Wright, Hannah Johnston, Sandra Allen, Patti Crowley or Wendy Woodhouse. You can also email Frost at frostoverbarraba@yahoo.org.au.

Committee Chair and veteran BarrArbour Convenor Andy Wright says, “We hope Barraba people will be interested in selling on Queen Street on Frost Saturday. It will add to the festival atmosphere as well as help people get some economic benefit from Frost. It also is just a lot of fun.”
