After needing to reschedule last month due to fire danger, the Macedon CFA will host its annual community day at the end of this month, raising important funds for the brigade.

Rescheduled to Saturday, March 29, the Macedon CFA Fundraiser and Community Day aims to provide community connection and a day of all-ages fun while acting as a major fundraiser for the brigade and its equipment.

This year, children’s activities will include a petting zoo and animal exhibit, mini fire truck races, a jumping castle, and arts and craft activities.

There will also be food and beverages, homemade products, fresh produce, and established trees on offer – along with auctions.

Brigade captain Liam Miles said that the event is more than a fundraiser and has received plenty of positive feedback in previous years.

“It’s not only about raising money for the brigade but bringing the community together as well,” Mr Miles said.

The event will run from 9.30am–1pm on Saturday, March 29 at the corner of Victoria and Smith Street, Macedon.
