Sale buoys Berrys Creek
BERRYS Creek Hall held its first clearing sale on Sunday with a tremendous turn out.
More than 200 locals gathered around the hall to bid on everything from farming equipment to vintage furnishings.
“Landmark donated their time and instead of commission going to them it went straight to the hall, so we are really grateful for Landmark’s input,” Berrys Creek Hall vice president Allister Dowling said.
“We have not yet finished tallying up the money but we estimate we raised over $3000 which will go towards the hall’s kitchen renovations.”
The sale included a wide range of items including farm equipment, a caravan, tractors, ride on mowers, clothes dryers, boats, chainsaws, golf buggies, bar fridges and feeders, to name a few.
Berrys Creek Hall Committee kept the crowds happy with a sausage sizzle and coffees on site to raise some extra funds.
“The event went really well and the committee is pleased with the outcome. We had a lot of people coming in and out of the place and it was nice and busy,” Mr Dowling said.
“Given the success of the event in its first year, we are looking to conduct another clearing sale in two years and hopefully we will have even more people turn up.
“We would like to thank Landmark donating their time and to the many people who donated items with proceeds going towards the hall. We did not know how it would go but it was great.”
