Patonga markets
The Patonga markets will be held December 17.
The main beneficiary is the Patonga Rural Fire Brigade, with support given by the progress association and the Tennis and Sports Club.
Brigade deputy Mr Colin Zwan said the brigade raised more than $800 from the last markets in October, through a barbecue, stall fees, CD sales, book sales and donations.
"Although the State Government supplies the main tanker and firefighting gear on the first response vehicle and the boat, the cab and chassis has to be supplied by the brigade," Mr Zwan said.
"Only new equipment may be bought."
The brigade had received financial support from the progress association, Meals on Wheels, the Ladies Bowling Club Umina.
