Based at the Pretty Pine Recreation Reserve, Sunday’s festivities will run from 10am to 4pm.
The day will also feature many traditional Father’s Day activities, as well as some new additions set to entice the crowd.
There’s also an array of food and drink options and market stalls booked in.
Along with the classic Pretty Pine catering and usual fare, Mick Ludeman is set to bring his old-fashioned spit roast and smoker.
Marinated chicken and roast pork is expected to be on offer, as well as paella from the rice stand.
Father’s Day Market and Expo joint co-ordinator Daniel Liphuyzen said the event always has unique draw card events to give Dads and families a great day out.
“Not many places have kids races or this many activities that keep the kids entertained, so the Dads can have a good day.
“We also always try to have something new or fresh each year.”
One major new interactive feature is the Golf Anywhere’s mobile golf simulator.
Throughout the day there will be longest drive and nearest to the pin competitions, allowing anyone to have a go and jostle for bragging rights.
Returning highlights include the ever popular rubber duck races and the dog high jump, with attendees invited to bring their dog for a chance at the title.
Competitors can buy a duck for the race with reasonable prize money on the line.
Dads also get a chance to show off their might in the crosscut saw competition, with a chainsaw donated by Deni Yamaha up for grabs.
The Harvey Trotter tug of war is another highlight.
The famous Rotary train in action at the Pretty Pine Market and Expo on Sunday.
Shrouded in history, teams are invited to register and compete for prize money.
This year it has been revamped with rope and harness leather restitched and oiled.
Entertainment is covered with show vehicles on display from multiple local clubs, a truck show and shine, live musical performances alternating between Sing Australia and The Gents, and an all-day working dog puppy training display.
Ged Bibby from locally based Rogue River Kelpies will train registered dogs in front of the crowd.
The kids’ activities include novelty races and rides on the classic Rotary train - which is only licensed to operate at Pretty Pine.
The famous raffle and the spinning wheel also return.
First prize in the raffle is a handy Evolution 205 piece, 14 drawer, 26 inch workshop tool kit from Ag Spares Deniliquin valued at $2699.
Second prize is an Engel MR40 38L fridge freezer donated by Nutrien worth $1100, and third is a $250 trial introductory flight donated by Fly Riverina.
Gate entry is again expected to be $5 for adults and teenagers, and free for children under-13.
Attendees are encouraged to bring cash. While some stalls may have EFTPOS, there is no ATM on site.
