Market for veterans set for Yandina

All are welcome to attend the markets at Yandina.

The Yandina-Eumundi RSL Sub Branch is excited to hold an inaugural Sunshine Coast Veterans Market from 7am to noon, on Saturday 15 October, for Department of Veterans’ Affairs’ Veterans’ Health Week (DVA VHW).

All are welcome to attend the markets at Yandina, which will feature over 40 stalls, including arts and crafts, food vans, clothing, jewellery, massage/reiki, animal rescue, demonstrations, competitions and even something for your pets.

RSL Queensland will host a stall, along with other ex-service organisations, community groups and veterans, showcasing the range of resources, skills, talents and services available across the Sunshine Coast.

Market highlights will include a focus on Veteran Health Week’s theme Eat Well with a “from garden to plate” presentation by veteran, blogger and YouTuber, Mark Valencia from @SelfSufficientMe and music from @Boiandeskae and Guitars for Vets Australia.

Veteran and local State Member for Nicklin, Rob Skelton, will open and speak at the event in a show of support for the local veteran community.

The market will be located adjacent to the regular Yandina Markets at 24 North Street Yandina.

Department of Veterans’ Affairs Veterans’ Health Week (1-9 October) will see RSL Sub Branches across Queensland host more than 50 events for veterans and their families during the week and throughout the month of October. Many of these events are funded by the Department of Veterans’ Affairs.
