2010 Flea Market Raffle Result

2010 Flea Market Results

Historically, for over 40 years, this event was always held on the last Friday night in February. However, due to the horrendous fire conditions in February 2009, we had to postpone it until mid-March.

In March 2009 the Flea Market was held during the day, on a Saturday, and was a great family event. So, we decided to continue this new arrangement for the 2010 Flea Market.

This year, the Flea Market was held on Saturday 27th February and commenced at 10.30am. The event boasted all of the elements that have made it a huge success and a much anticipated Community calendar item. There was Hot food, available all day, Donuts, Devonshire Teas, Kids entertainment, including Karaoke for kids, Carnival Rides and Games, MFB Fire Bike, etc.

The Engine bays of the Fire Station were filled with Bric-a-Brac and Book stalls and almost the entire Railway Station Car Park area was filled with donated goods to be auctioned or sold at "specialist" stalls, like Big Boys Toys, Bikes, Electrical, etc. The Auction, as always, was provided by the World's Greatest Auctioneer, Mr Steve Graham, whose charismatic personality and sense of humour helps to make the event the huge success it always is. 

This year, we raised over $19,000, which will go towards our replacement vehicle project and general equipment for the operation and improvement of our brigade.

Next year, the Flea Market will, most probably take place on Saturday 26th February, and will be advertised well in advance. So, keep an eye out for the advertising and take the opportunity to donate goods, come along and donate some time and have a great day, while helping out with a very important community service.

All are welcome...Family, Friends, Visitors to the area...So, please help spread the word.

As this is our only major fund raiser for the year, and progress towards our new truck has been very slow over recent years, if you are unable or unwilling to attend the Flea Market, please consider donating towards our Vehicle Replacement Fund. This can be done in person, on any Sunday morning at the Fire Station, or by mail to MRFB, PO BOX 282, Macedon, Vic, 3440. Donations are Tax Deductible and a receipt can be issued on request.
