In local news, the Bangalow Farmers Market turns 10 this year. The market was set up by a small group of local farmers and the process began in 2002, and finally set up in 2004. The goal of the farmers market was always to provide local, fresh, seasonal food to the local community in addition to their philosophy of food security, food miles, and regional sustainability. Thanks to the support of Kath and Tom Mooney, the market began in July 2004 at its present location behind the Bangalow Hotel. What began as a small number of stalls in 2004, the Bangalow Farmers market has now expanded to approximately 20 stalls. President Kaye Shadbolt states \u201cwe are a family friendly environment and all are welcome to join us in celebrating 10 healthy years in the Bangalow community\u201d. To celebrate the 10 year anniversary a community party will be thrown by farmers and producers on Saturday July 26th<\/sup>. The event includes free breakfast, entertainment, and hamper prizes from 8:00 to 11:00 am.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Also celebrating a birthday is the Blue Knob Farmers Market which turns 4 this year. On Saturday the 26th<\/sup> of July the market will be holding a pumpkin festival and bush dance. Beginning at 9:00 am, events include pumpkin carving lanterns, a pumpkin carriage race, and a market birthday cake. Then, from 5 pm, the festivities continue with the bush dance. The bush dance begins at 6:30 pm with a live band \u201cBandicoot\u201d. Prior to the dance there is a light dinner at 5:30 and followed by a delicious supper. Tickets for the bush dance are on sale at the market every Saturday ($20 individual, $30 couple, and $40 per family (negotiable). Proceeds from the dance go towards the upkeep and upgrade of Blue Knob Hall. Organizers would welcome some pumpkin, choko and food donations.

In news out of Adelaide, a knife wielding man has robbed two teenagers of their Crispy Cream donuts. Since the city\u2019s premiere Crispy Cream store opened up on July 4th<\/sup>, the store has experienced a daily queue out the door of Adelaide folk keen to taste the donuts. Things took an ugly turn on July 16th<\/sup> however when two teens were loading six boxes of just purchased donuts into their car when a man threatened them with a knife and robbed them of all their donuts. Interestingly, the man had no interest in robbing the teens of money or other valuables\u2026just the donuts. Store manager Mark Higgenbottom is stepping up security as a result, but believes the robbery was an isolated incident. He has offered to replace the teen\u2019s stolen donuts, but the pair state they are too scared to return to the store.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Social Media strikes again, with Cadbury Australia launching a new technology that gives Aussie consumers the ability to find out what chocolate flavour they are best matched to based on their Facebook profile. Cadbury has created the world\u2019s first flavour matching Facebook powered vending machine. The \u201cJoy Generator\u201d allows users to log into their Facebook profile, and receive their personalized flavour match for free before taking a photo with their flavour in a social media photo booth. The app in the machine examines Facebook likes and interests across a variety of categories including charities, consumer brands, sporting clubs, music artists, TV programs, movies etc. In order to develop a match based against Cadbury Dairy Milk Flavour profiles. Advertising agency Red Agency principal Rachel White states \u201cThe Joy Generator vending machine and Flavour Matcher app are exciting world-first technology that links flavour to common likes and interests that people have on their Facebook profiles. This is a unique social experiment designed to spread more joy across the nation and provides a new take on the Cadbury conversation around flavour\u201d. One wonders what happens if you already know what chocolate you prefer\u2026\u2026<\/p>\n
