Mrs Leigh can be found at each sale down at the sweets end of the counter where she meticulously manages the cash register, raising money for Euroa Public School.
“We raise money for the school which is satisfying and is where my grandchildren attended,” she said.
“But they’ve grown up now.”
The canteen can be found well stocked at every sale with a range of cooked food and refreshments.
