Over $3,000 was raised for local firey’s at the Australia Day crab races hosted by the Landsborough Hotel.
Landsborough Rural Fire Brigade secretary, Helen Jakeman, said despite incredibly hot conditions, the community turned out in strong support of the event which is a major annual fundraiser for the local brigade. She said it was a great afternoon that raised a substantial amount from the races, raffles and donations.
”We would like to especially thank Jo from the Landsborough Hotel for organising the afternoon and also a big thank you to owner Terry, for his continued support of our brigade,” Helen said.
Jo Logan from Landsborough Hotel, said this year was one of the most successful fundraisers to date, and said she was pleased by the fantastic support shown by the community for the event.
