At our Darlington Community Markets on Sunday 25th October, we will have some very special visitors from the 🔥Kerry Rural Fire Service (and possibly surrounding areas) bringing their vehicles and other machines for all to appreciate!!

🚒👨‍🚒Our hard working firies servicing our area are all volunteers as part of the rural team, they sacrifice so much time and put their own lives on hold and at risk to help us when our properties are at risk. Its a real privilege to have them attend our event to share some of their knowledge and insights with us all.

ℹ️They have a Community awareness trailer with lots of exciting items to share as well.

🙏Be sure to stop in and have a chat, give them a thank you and a smile 😃

Our gates open at 8am Sunday October 25th at Darlington State School 2744 Kerry Road, Darlington.

💚Gold coin donation appreciated

See you there 🤠
