COUNTRY Halls are playing an important role in rural communities.
Freestone Memorial Hall has been the heart of Freestone for more than 150 years. Railways, shops have come and gone but the hall with a dedicated committee continues to be the place to meet for locals and friends.
This Friday 9 December the lights will be burning brightly as the community gathers at the Freestone Memorial Hall for the final Friendly Friday for 2016.
The sausages will sizzle on the barbecue, the drinks are chilled and Christmas treats – in the old tradition of ’bring a plate’ – will decorate the tables.
Santa will visit for the young and young at heart. Call Billy 4666 1559 (A/H) who has a direct line to Santa to organise a book gift.
