The Gracetown Bushfire Brigade has extended its thanks to the local community and regional businesses who empthatically supported the brigade's latest raffle fundraiser.
Drawn over the Australia Day weekend, tickets were highly sought after, with a huge range of donated prizes on offer.
Local man Marc Tomlinson scored the top prize, including accommodation at Karriview Lodge, pottery from Wilyabrup Dreaming, wine and vouchers from Margaret River Brewhouse and Margaret River Gourmet Meats.
Other prizes included accomodation at Gracetown Caravan Park, plus vouchers and prize packs from Bunnings, Olio Bello, Gracie's General Store, Margaret River Sign Co, Margaret River Holiday Cottages, Cowaramup Agencies, Margaret River Venison and Yahava Koffeeworks.
Wine was donated by Vasse Felix, Passel Estate, Woodlands, McHenry Honen, Cullen Wines, Juniper Estate, Ashbrook Estate, Grace Farm and Stormflower.
Brigade Secretary and Treasurer Brooke Anderson said the raffle was conducted to raise funds for equipment and resources for the group, and thanked the community on behalf of the brigade for their "amazing" donations to the fundraiser.
"Look out for our upcoming Mother's day raffle which includes a Cygnet Bay Broome Pearl (from local Gracetown owners), a local painting, vouchers for local pilates, hairdressing, bookshop, as well as wine and chocolate," Ms Anderson said.
"What more could mum want!"
