Greetings from Greerton with Sally Benning Mainstreet Manager Greerton Village |
'I've never won anything in my life!” Those were the first words from lucky Wilma Gundersen, who was delighted to win our fabulous Valentine's Day promotion – simply for buying in Greerton Village.
Wilma is a regular shopper in our village and loves the 'boutique” feel we offer as a pleasant change to the big box retailers elsewhere.
Wilma's winning entry was drawn from about 2000 entries by Police community constable Leanne Fairbairn and came from her recent visit to Greers Gastro Bar.
The hamper was made possible by participating retailers in Greerton Village that ran with our Valentine's Day promotion, which ended up with a valuation of just under $1000 – a lovely prize to win.

Other news from our community is that The Irish Mile is returning to Greerton Village.
If you think you have the luck of the Irish – then you will love our next event.
On Thursday, March 17, from 5pm-7pm in the Greerton Village School grounds you will see the start and end of this once iconic Greerton Village event.
This year it's for all the family to take part in a bit of Irish fun. From 5pm The Whittakers will be on-site entertaining with their Irish music and vocals. These guys are really entertaining and even if you don't join the walk, come and enjoy their music for a couple of hours.
The actual ‘Irish Mile' walk starts 5.30pm and will be led by SPCA Greerton Village, which is the recipient of any funds raised on the evening – just a gold coin donation to walk or enjoy the music. There will be prizes along the way for Best Dressed in Irish Theme and Best dressed Baby and Buggy, and there will be spot prizes on-site as the walkers return.
In conjunction with this event, we'll be running an Irish-themed Window Dressing competition, kindly sponsored by The Weekend Sun – so look out for Greerton Village to be dressed in green.
