Event organiser Lion Marg Poels said it was nice to hold the fair after floodwaters prevented it from taking place in 2023.
“There were people lining up at the door when we arrived this morning,” Ms Poels said.
“We have 19 different sellers. We start arranging this around March, so it takes some time.”

Funds raised from the fair are used by the Benalla Lions Club for one of its projects.
“But I haven’t picked a project yet,” Ms Poels said.
“That’s on my to-do list.”
