Itching for a bargain?

Macedon Fire Brigade's Steev Carrigg and Phil Wilkinson invite you to support the brigade at its annual flea market fundraiser on Saturday.


Macedon Fire Brigade's annual flea market is on again tomorrow - Saturday, February 23 - in the car park of the railway station, behind the fire station on the corner of Smith and Victoria streets.
The flea market will have the usual auction, bric-a-brac, books, kids toys, bikes, small electrical goods, big boys' toys (lawn mowers, tools, etc.), plants and of course the food kitchen. Food and drinks will be available all day from 10am, and amusements, including games alley, jumping castles, face-painting and and coloured hair spraying will all be there. 
The brigade is aiming to make this the most successful flea market ever and is hoping to make considerable progress towards raising the funds needed for the replacement of its brigade-owned tanker, which was purchased in 1997 with funds raised with the support of the local community. Despite fundraising efforts each year, the brigade has been unable to raise the amount needed as vehicle costs have escalated and resale value of its existing vehicle has dropped over recent years. 
So, even if you are unable to go along to the flea market, but would still like to help support the local brigade, please consider making a donation towards the replacement of its tanker. You can drop in to the fire station any Sunday morning or you can mail it to: Macedon Rural Fire Brigade, PO Box 282, Macedon, 3440. Your support will be greatly appreciated and will help the brigade continue to provide the highest level of emergency services to the local community.
Amusements, food and stalls commence at 10am. Auction commences at 11am.
