The Hub Markets are organised and operated by the Lions Club of Manning River on the third Saturday of every month at the Taree Showgrounds, from 8am to noon.
All moneys raised from the markets benefit various charities (including Lions Foundations) and the local community.
Taree North Rotary Club's book shed is open in conjunction with the Hub Markets each month. The book shed has just re-opened following damage it sustained in the March floods.
The showground was extensively damaged in the floods. While none of the buildings were structurally damaged, everything inside the buildings, apart from the tea rooms, was destroyed.
However the Manning River Agricultural and Horticultural Society (MRAHS), responsible for running Taree Showground, was ecstatic to learn it is going to be the recipient of a $25,000 grant from the Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal through its Strengthening Rural Communities program.
