Every year we hear of firework related incidents involving animals and children. While fireworks may be exciting and pretty to look at and its fun to celebrate many celebrations with a bang, we must put our safety, the safety of our pets and the local wildlife first. 

Tonight as part of the North Show at approximately 2150hrs (950pm) at Saumarez Park in Castel there is a firework display planned so please ensure your animals are safe and prepare for the unusual sounds and sights they might be subjected too.
