Markets Make Move To Virtual

Gladstone played host to the region’s first ever virtual market on the weekend, with over a thousand tenacious ‘market goers’ refusing to be deterred by the cancellation of the physical market events. The Facebook group Online Markets GLADSTONE 4680 was created by local business owner Hannah Jackson of ‘Ammy Lou Boutique’ with the help of Joanna O’Regan from ‘Raphael St Candle Co.’.

Hannah recently created the group with the hope that it will provide assistance to small and local businesses across the Gladstone region. With many events being postponed or cancelled due to the outbreak of COVID-19, small and local businesses are beginning to suffer significant financial burden.
