NEW Mareeba business, The She Shed, is hosting their official opening this weekend with a showcase of handmade and homemade wares, all while raising money for the Cancer Council Queensland Helene Keal has turned a section of her patio into a store front, where she will sell her handmade woodworking products. 

A part of the official opening of the She Shed, Mrs Keal is inviting people to come along and purchase items to help raise money for the cancer council. “I was going to the markets every week down at the Post Office Centre and I’ve been getting a lot of business and a lot of repeat customers,” she said.

“They rented the shop out so I had to bring all of my stuff home so I said to my husband John ‘I want to build a shop on the side of the veranda’. “I was talking about it one day with a bunch of friends and we said we should have a market day and opening.” 

Other stall holders will be present on the day selling their homemade bread and biscuits, crocheted tea towels, cards, soaps and loads of more craft pieces. There will also be a sausage sizzle taking place for fill tummies and again raise even more funds for the cancer council. 

“I wanted to have an event for the cancer council because they’ve been having a lot of trouble with Covid, they haven’t been able to hold any fundraising events,” she said. “There are a few ladies that are coming along to set up their stalls and donate to the cancer council. 

“The more people that come along the more money we can raise.” 

The opening will be held this Saturday, at 4-6 Downs Street, Mareeba from 9am to 2pm.
