Those driving down Lachlan Street would no doubt have noticed the bright and attractive new signage adorning the shopfront of Mackers Meats.

Gary McRae is passionate about the need for signage in the shopping districts of towns.

In addition to enlisting Anthony Slattery Painting to create some eye-catching business signs for the butchery, he is also getting new awnings.

One of Hay’s cornerstone businesses, Robertson’s Hot Bread Kitchen has celebrated 40 delicious years of baking.

A lack of staff has long plagued local businesses, and this month will see the closure of Hay Ag & Auto, entrenched in the Hay community for 26 years.
