The stallers then went on a break and came back in to serve the 5th years and TYs for their hour in the gym. The second years were next for their stint of shopping, browsing and tasting the craft foods on sale. After lunch, it was the turn of the third years and sixth years to see the stalls. 

Overall the spirit of the day was amazing, everyone enjoyed themselves and had great fun, the stallers all enjoyed the selling and getting to engage with their peers and teachers, and the customers had a great time looking around and buying things from stalls.
