TOOWOOMBA’S growing community of vinyl lovers have a rare opportunit­y to get their hands on a huge number of LPs at this year’s annual record fair.

With a wide selection of more than 200 crates of LP records, preloved and new, as well as magazines, cassettes and CDs, there will be something for everyone at this year’s fair.

The fair has been held annually for the past six years, however organiser Jason Woodward plans for there to be two to three this year because of community interest.

“There is a surprising number of people in Toowoomba who appreciate vinyl. We are expecting 300 to 400 people there,” he said.

“There are very interestin­g people in the community and record fairs not only bring these people together but also build and strengthen the community. Once a community starts to recognise itself, that’s when it really starts to grow and flourish.”

The fair will return to its original home at St Thomas More Hall, 71a Ramsay St, South Toowoomba on Saturday, February 17.

For more informatio­n, phone Jason on 0424 371 720.
