Market day and fun run had residents on their feet
RandMark joined hands with the Winnie Project NPO to raise funds with a market day and fun run.
RandMark recently held a market day along with a fun run to raise funds for the Winnie Project NPO.
April 27 was an entertaining day for residents who attended the RandMark market day and fun run.
The Freedom Day Charity Market kicked off at 10:00 and according to the organiser, Sonja Botha, a total of 24 stalls were established. There was a variety of stalls, including NPO members selling sweet treats and boerewors rolls.
Among the stalls was Lexi’s Arts and Crafts run by Alexis Botha and her friend, Tamia de Azevedo. They sold handmade bracelets, badges, keychains, and many more. Alexis expressed that she was a bit nervous but still felt happy about the experience.
Sean Hayes attended the market day with his stall, Gym 4 Jesus where he sold hats, earrings and ready-made meals.
Another vendor, Family Candle, displayed their handcrafted fragrance and dessert candles. Founders Tsholofelo and Joel Tekum said they hope the opportunity brings light to their family business.
The founders of Noco Creative, Jaydean and Gareth van Vollenstee showcased their creative skills. Jaydean sold her crocheted hats and stuffed animals while Gareth sold painted figures that he printed with his 3D printer.
The organiser of the fun run, Lizeth Rowan confirmed that Sonja reached out to RandMark. Thereafter, Lizeth decided to organise the fun run. Around 35 people joined the fun run.
“We have worked out a route for the fun run where people walked around the stadium for 2km. Some residents also decided to walk for 4km and 6km. It turned out very successful, especially since the bar was open and residents could enjoy a cold beer after the long walk,” she said.
She added that RandMark will also be planning a future park run.
