Upon a time in the land of Observatory , There was a Thrift Fest that occurred every now and then.
It was said that once you shop there , no matter where you live , Your local mall prices offend.
You won't leave empty handed , there's a whole array of things.
From Second hand, hand made to good food, coffee and silver rings.
So jot down the date , tell the family and don't forget ,
To visit Observatory's own Organic and Sustainable community fete.

We are OBS-FICIALLY taking in applications for the September Observatory community Hall Thrift + Alt Fest.
We have 70 stalls available. Some inside, some outside.
Prices are as follows : Regular stall ( 2 m x 1.6m ) Inside - R250

There is a play ground for the kids and lots of vendors to shop from .
We boast offering the best deals you can find on the day .
Great tunes to listen to , delicious food on sale and a general great vibe.
PETS ARE MORE THAN WELCOME.
We would appreciate the support of the community , if you happen to live in Observatory .
