Imagine being the bloke lucky enough to be on the line to this beauty 😍

Did you get a chance to use the audiobook and drop your best pickup line at the fair?

Such a fun idea for any event, I’d have the time of my life with one of these - I’d be reciting the phone scene from Taken and nobody would stop me.

This babe is always ready for her close up! 📷

Not only will bring great energy and entertainment to any hens day or event, but they will also provide a unique and unforgettable experience for the bride and her guests. Imagine sipping on margs while watching a stunning queen perform fierce lip syncs and dance numbers.

But wait, there’s ALWAYS more! A drag queen can also act as a host for the event, keeping the party going with fun games and activities. And of course, they will be more than happy to take plenty of photos with the bride and her gals for some truly fabulous memories.

So, if you want to take your hens day to the next level, consider hiring Alexis!

It’s a few days post-fair, and as you’d probably imagine – the grateful emotions have taken the wheel. 😅

So we would just like to take a minute to say thank you to everyone who entered those doors this past Sunday, all of the engaged couples and sticky beaks who keep this fair going year after year – Thank you.

And to all of our incredible vendors who bring the absolute A-game to showcase Ballarat’s creative event community (that we are so lucky to be a part of) We love seeing you collaborate and come together to really bring local events to life. You guys are the real MVP’s – Thank you.

And to .ballarat – we are so lucky to be able to utilize such a stunning venue, along with all of the accommodating staff who work to hard to help bring this event to the public – Thank you.

Thank you everyone.

We love organizing this event for you all and each year just gets bigger and better.

Just when we think we cant out-do a previous year – everyone comes together and knocks it out of the park.

We cannot WAIT to see what next year brings. 👏🏼

Let’s get behind The Forge Pizzeria 🫶🏼

From the very beginning, Commerce Ballarat has loved The Forge Pizzeria! ❤

Since opening its first venue in 2010, The Forge has become a pillar in the Armstrong Street restaurant precinct and contributed to the growth of our impressive hospitality scene. Owner Tim Matthews has proved himself a true member of the community, creating collaborations and partnerships at every turn to support those around him. He has been a voluntary advocate for hospitality businesses in Ballarat and around the State, representing to all levels of Government and always happy to step up when asked. He is an active member of Commerce Ballarat’s industry chats, bringing expertise and ideas to the discussion ready to lead, work and support.

Today’s news is certainly sad. We know that businesses everywhere are facing challenges right now and The Forge is not alone. As Commerce Ballarat, we stand in solidarity with Tim and the staff as they continue to trade and work their way through this difficult time and we hope to see them come out the other side, still serving great pizzas. ❤🍕
