Murrindindi Beanie & Fibre Festival

01/06/2026

Recently MBFF used funds raised from our fabulous fibre festival to help two CFA units in our area. Koriella CFA as previously mentioned here on Fb and also Alexandra Fire Brigade Auxiliary where we bought 6 unique trestle tables that are portable and adjustable to the height of 900 high, perfect for preparing lots of food with minimal impact on one’s back of hours of bending during a long fire event or any other event requiring time at the bench. What a lovely hand written thank you as well. We also supported the Alexandra Fire Brigade with a donation for equipment for the station.
The MBFF takes much pleasure in giving back to the community.
