My name is Jeremy Lister. I’m 9 years old and I love reading the newspaper. A lot of people have asked me if I write a column for the Southern Free Times. I have been writing a weekly column in the Allora Advertiser but was delighted to be asked to write a fortnightly column in the Southern Free Times as well. When I heard about the fall of the Border Post (which I heard a couple months late) I was sad and wanted a replacement. I never knew that I would be making the replacement though (well sort of). In my column I plan to write about news about Stanthorpe and the Granite Belt. My first column is about the Stanthorpe pop up outdoor furniture shop.
The pop up furniture store…
On the 31st of October following the moving of MWF plumbing, Stanthorpe furniture emporium seized the opportunity to open up a pop shop specialising in outdoor furniture. Edith the owner said that she was up 6am to 7pm trying to get the shop ready. The shop has five rooms and is right next to MWF plumbing in Maryland Street Stanthorpe. I think it is a great shop and it has heaps of nice outdoor furniture. My favourite piece is a swinging seat. I am sitting in it in the picture. Edith said the shop is doing well and will be open until the end of January 2021.
