The Weekend Wrap - What's happening this Saturday and Sunday?

Arts, Fresh Food and Sport is whats on this weekend and all under partly cloudy skies.


There is the slight chance of a shower over the weekend but the BOM say it won't be much if you do feel or see some drops. Temps will be fairly typical 21 and 22 degrees and unlike last weekends gale fore winds, they will be light over this weekend.


Just a quick heads up before we move on, next week Spring is upon us not only in name from Tuesday but also with the temperatures. Monday is 26, Tuesday 23, Wednesday 25 and Thursday 25 so that magnificent time of the year is definitely up on us.


The Lismore Regional Gallery has the Penny Evans art exhibition called 'Language of the Wounded' until November 1 while the 'Body Language' exhibition begins tomorrow from a number of different artists for the United Nations International Year of Indigenous Languages. The Lismore Regional Gallery will be open between 10am and 2pm on Saturday and Sunday.


The Lismore Farmers Markets throw open the Showground gates at 8am tomorrow for you to buy your fresh fruit and veg direct from the farmers plus a local distiller is coming back for the first time if your alcohol cabinet has run dry.



The Blue Knob Community Markets open up at 8:30am.


The weather is perfect for a bush walk so check out your options in our 'Walks' button here Walks.


The local rugby league derby is on at at Crozier Field on Sunday when the Marist Brothers Rams take on Northern United at 3pm. The Rams were soundly beaten by Ballina in the NRRRL Gold Competition last weekend while United smashed Mullumbimby 34-16.


In Far North Coast Football, Lismore Thistles take on Richmond Rovers at Thistles Park, East Lismore tonight at 8pm while tomorrow Goonellabah travel to Maclean and Alstonville do battle with South Lismore on Sunday at Crawford Park, Alstonville with kick-off at 2:30pm.


Lismore Rugby have an away game to Grafton on Saturday looking for their first win of the season while the Lismore Women's team take on Evans River. In a mouthwatering top of the table clash Wollongbar/Alstonville make the short journey to leaders Ballina.


The weekend also sees Baseball, Netball and Hockey in action with the results on the Lismore App as they come to hand.


Where is the cheap petrol this weekend?


Unleaded E10 is cheapest at United on Ballina Road once again at 112.9, Unleaded 91 is 114.9 at United and the Woolworths near The Square while Diesel owners will find 117.9 at United and Liberty on Ballina Road with the Shell on Wilson Street in South Lismore.


On the Lismore App tomorrow Neil Marks' Blog is all positive as he looks at all the new businesses opening up around town. While the Sunday Profile is about Dr Peter Helman who studies storms and the relationships between coastal damage and the Lismore Floods. Well worth a read when you are having your first coffee of the morning.


Now for a laugh to put you in the mood for the weekend;
