With the weekend weather looking a bit Jekyll and Hyde it may be best to get outdoors tomorrow (Saturday) because Sunday is looking likely to get us about 4-10mm of rain with a potential thunderstorm in the afternoon. Having said that the BOM say there is a chance of thunderstorm late Saturday afternoon or evening too but most of the day should be fine with a top of 27. We will experience a drop on Sunday when the change comes through with 21 expected.

So, what's on offer this weekend?

As reported earlier today two local businesses are having their official Grand Openings following their soft launches recently (Two Lismore stores hold grand openings on Saturday)

NPC Amusements is a man cave warehouse at 16 Rifle Range Road, East Lismore and will be open between 9 and 4pm tomorrow. They have an amazing stock of products for Fathers Day if you are one of those late buyers!

As well as some fresh local fruit and veg you will see Jyllie Jackson and her team raising money to save LightnUp which is Jyllie's not for profit business that runs the Lismore Lantern Parade. With no events at all in 2020 and therefore no money coming in the door Jyllie needs our help to keep operating. Imagine no more Lismore Lantern Parades?
