Year’s final Memel Market spreads the festive cheer
The ambiance proved enjoyable and many people left satisfied with their purchases.
Despite the leaden skies, the turnout at the last Memel Market for 2019 was quite large, with plenty of interest being shown.
A great variety of handmade items, such as hand-knitted dolls, leather shoes, belts and fancy jewelry, women’s fashion accessories and the usual variety of cakes, tarts and cookies were on sale.
The were also pancakes being prepared and flipped by Jan Harris, and some tasty curry and rice for the hungry bellies of visitors to the market.
An addition to the market, for the children’s amusement were pony rides and a jumping castle.
One toddler made his own entertainment by wading through a large and muddy rain puddle, much to the amusement of the crowd.
The ambiance proved enjoyable and many people left satisfied with their purchases.
