The Pretty Pine Recreation Reserve will once again come alive on September 1 for the annual Father’s Day Market & Expo.
There will be plenty of activities and games for everyone, including a raffle where you can win dad (or yourself) a number of fantastic prizes.
The event will kick off at 10am and run through until 4pm.
Entry is $5 for those aged over 13, and pensioners need only pay a gold coin donation.
Children get in free, but make sure to get them a $5 wristband to access all the children’s rides and activities.
Last year’s event was a success for the Pretty Pine Recreation Reserve committee, with more than 3000 guests through the gate and raising funds for the Deniliquin Rescue Squad - VRA Rescue NSW.
This year, the funds raised will go toward the maintenance and general up keep of the recreation site and grounds.
To build on numbers, there will be a mix of old favourites and new events to enjoy.
There will be a whip cracking competition and tug of war competition, and a crowd favourite is sure to be the mullet competition.
There will be a huge variety of markets stall, as well as static displays, a bar and a tasty barbecue.
For the kids, there will face painting, jumping castle and a petting zoo.
