Organised by the Mumbil Advancement Association Inc, who could not have asked for a more perfect day as the sun shone over a crowd of about 1000 people who travelled from as far as Dubbo, Bathurst, Orange and Gilgandra to attend the event.
But there was also plenty of local faces among the crowd too, with residents of Wellington, Mumbil and Stuart Town attending.
The huge variety among the stall holders kept the crowd roving throughout the day, with pickles, succulents, plants, pyjamas, clothing, trinkets and treasures, fresh produce, speciality jewellery and much more on offer.
The Red Cross ladies from Wellington provided delicious Devonshire teas for the visitors.
