Flying High with the
Faheys
About
30 Chamber members attended the General Meeting at Fahey’s Aerial Services last
week. Thanks to Fred and Rory Fahey for
hosting the event which was very interesting.
Members
were given a tour of the hangers which house an amazing array of aeroplanes.
It
was great to see close-up the huge state of the art water bombing planes which
have been used so effectively to fight the bushfires across the State.
The
Faheys are called in to help with interstate fires as well. Their backup trucks
of fuel are also an important part of the project and everything is on standby
in top condition ready for a call out.
The
agricultural planes were also on show and Fred explained how Fahey's Aerial
Services had two distinct seasons. All
of the aircraft are specifically configured for either agricultural spreading
or spraying or firebombing applications.
Main Street Upgrade
Council's Director of Engineering Services, George
Ridley was also on hand to update the group on the main street work. He announces that the main street would be
opened temporarily for Easter, pending good weather and then work would restart
on the bridge end of Kendal Street. The work was on schedule and the dry
weather had allowed the work to continue without a hitch.
The lights and banner poles would all be put up
together at the end of the work schedule and the garbage bins and seats would
be replaced soon.
Kendal Street Marketing
An enthusiastic group of Kendal Street business owners
have got together and are coming up with plans to market the town centre when
the road works are finished. They are a subgroup of the Chamber and anyone who
is interested in contributing should contact Ian Grant at The Oxley Wine Bar.
Cowra Cash
Cowra Cash Gift cards can now be used at 38 businesses
in Cowra and purchased from 10 of these stores. Just look for the window sign!
