Well I thought my biggest claim to fame was the Boyzone autographs... not any more! I have my picture with the Twang! That's right, the 24 Carrots Farmers Market is now a hip celeb hang out* (* just like to point out that the Twang are the first celebs to come so no need to hang around the stalls, paparazzos) And this was just one of the many highlights from the 24 Carrots Market big Birthday bash!
The day didn't get off to the greatest of starts as the carroteers had to bring out the Eco Ponchos to avoid a soaking, however, the arrival of our birthday cake put a smile on our hungry faces and miraculously the sun began to shine! Added to this was the arrival of the representative from the Co-op, Jim Pettipher, that's right- the farmer's market is on its way to becoming a co-operative! And to make us even more excited a photographer arrived to take some truly dashing pictures of us, Rob Rowlands at Abandoned Bicycle photography made us look fantastic without the need for airbrushing- have a look on Flickr for the images.
You may even spot the elusive and exclusive carrot variety known as knitted Carrots on display in the photo's-an incredibly rare breed of Carrot that delighted children and adults alike on the day!
As it was our birthday, we felt like spoiling ourselves... and what better way to spoil yourself than with jewellery! So for our birthday bash and to replace the annual arts and jewellery fair that was sadly cancelled this year, the market had a few local jewellers and artists come along for the day to highlight the creative side of the Jewellery Quarter- and what fun we had! There were lots of smiling faces, in particular from the winners of the tombola!So the market has been around for a full year- now to plan for the next year and how to make even bigger and better! Remember, 24 Carrots is good for you :)
