The aroma of Tairua Volunteer Fire Brigade’s legendary mussel fritters attracted crowds to the annual Firemen’s Market on Easter Saturday and kept brigade members busy dishing out fritters and sausages.
Stalls included jewels, games, toys, plants and antiques as well as the attraction of sitting in the fire engine.
Fire Chief, Chris New, said funds raised from the day will help run the brigade’s ute and van as well as equipment not funded by the national fire service.
Members of the local St John Ambulance Service also supported the event.
