The Community were out and about in Maclean on Saturday morning to check out the grand opening of Mitre 10 and to grab themselves a bargain.

Mitre 10 Maclean co-owner Shaun Johnson said that it was a fantastic morning.

“We had lots and lots of locals coming through to support us, which was really nice to see,” Shaun said.

“I think everyone had a really good time with TV’s The Block contestants – Andy and Deb and the kids seemed to enjoy getting their autographs and getting selfies with them.

“We had lots of face painting, fairy floss and a jumping castle for the kids and there was a really good Q and A session with Andy and Deb as well.

“We had a really busy couple of hours and think everyone enjoyed themselves.

“The Gulmarrad Rural Fire Service (RFS) manned the BBQ out the front of the store, which gave the community a chance to give them a gold coin donation to thank them for the great job they’ve been doing,” he said.
