KVBFB & SES Lolly Run: We are still planning to go ahead with our Lolly Run this afternoon!
We have left extra time at each stop to ensure we can safely socially distance, so we are asking everyone to please spread out in our beautiful open park areas, and don't crowd the fire trucks - there is plenty of room and we promise there are plenty of lollies for everyone, we will come to you!
Our members (and Santa!) will be wearing masks as an extra safety measure, and hand sanitiser will be available for all. Unfortunately kids won't be allowed to sit in the trucks this year, just as a precaution, so our trucks, lights, and sirens will have to be enjoyed from afar 🎅
Remember, our KVBFB 3.4 fire truck will be at the rear of our convoy ready to spray those who are keen to cool down with fresh clean water 😁
And as always, keep an eye on our Facebook page for any last minute updates. We look forward to spreading some Christmas cheer with you this afternoon!
