A day for the community

Macedon residents are invited to a community fundraising day on Saturday, February 24, hosted by Macedon CFA.

The annual event has been running since 1968 and will kick off at 9.30am at the corner of Victoria and Smith Street.

The goods and services auction will commence at 11am, alongside a silent auction, a presentation from Wild Action Zoo, a raffle, virtual fire fighting, and plenty of activities for the kids including a petting zoo.

There will also be food available on the day, including coffee and hot jam donuts, produce, cakes and more.

Second hand items cannot be auctioned off, but the CFA is inviting new goods or services donations to auction. Residents can message them on Facebook with the details.

Macedon CFA said they would also like to thank many of the local businesses who have already provided some fantastic items to auction.
