Franz Josef Christmas Market

Another successful Franz Josef Christmas Market is done and dusted.

The Franz Josef Community Council (FJCC) hopes everyone who attended had a blast, found some cool, unique last minute Christmas presents, spent some time socialising, and enjoyed the yummy food the Franz Josef Playgroup had on offer, or even walked away with an amazing raffle prize! The live music was a fabulous accompaniment to a great event.

The market raised funds for:

Franz Josef Playgroup, Franz Josef Civil Defence and St. John.

If your group would like to get involved with next years’ market to try and raise funds, please reach out to the committee on office@franzjosefcdo.nz

Some very special people we’d like to thank on behalf of the FJCC & the FJ Christmas Market Committee:

Pouri & Wendy, Mike & Edward, Christina, Craig, Caitlin, Lisa 2, Tania Darl and Scenic staff, Stephen, Harley, and Zak & Lachie

Now on to thank our amazing sponsors who we would like to thank, as without their support we would not have been able to run the market in this way, nor would we have been able to have such an incredible amount of raffles to sell for the FJ Civil Defence :
