Tomorrow, the bi-annual Telegraph Point Public School Country Fair offers entertainment, prizes, children's activities, fresh produce, market stalls and so much more.
Head to the school at 177 Mooney Street for a family day out from 9am until 3pm.
It will be hard for everyone to choose what to do first - take a pony ride, a tractor hay ride, bounce in the jumping castle or browse stalls offering crafts, cakes, plants, trash 'n' treasure, second hand toys, preloved books, plants and fresh produce.
Prizes on the chocolate wheel include gift vouchers, electrical goods, and home wares and the major raffle first prize is overnight accommodation at The Observatory including complimentary wine and chocolates.
Other raffle prizes include a ski lesson and overnight accommodation at Stoney Park; 12 monthly car washes at Port Car Wash on Gordon Street; a pop-up shade gazebo from Bunnings; and a barbecue boat hire for a day from Settlement Point Boat Shed.
The children can also enjoy sand art and design a bag, face painting, hair sprays, temporary tattoos, nail art and taking selfies with some of the Hello Koala sculptures.
An animal nursery with ducklings, chickens, goats, goslings and a calf will be popular, as will the lolly store and slushies.
The adults can choose a Cow Poo Lotto number for a chance to win a personalised Akubra donated by Port Macquarie Rural Sales.
Entertainment includes the Telegraph Point School dance team from 11am, the choir at 11.15am and the skipping team at 11.30am and popular local performer Lester Wilcox.
