Fire Station Open Day Saturday all day

In Merriwa the local Fire Station holds its open day to coincide with the Festival of the Fleeces. Our firies are very active in the community, from their Christmas lolly run,  to installing fire alarms, they are critical to the safety of our community. And, of course, they put out the odd fire or two!

You’ll find the open house just at the end of the market stalls, on the eastern end of the Festival. Pop on in and say “hey” during Festival of the Fleeces! They would love to see all your friendly faces.
