The big event this weekend is the annual Babyshop 'Carols In The Heart' on Sunday.

One of the first questions on a weekend like this is "what is the weather going to be like"? Another stinker tomorrow with 35C the maximum, a Total Fire Ban has been declared for Saturday while there is a cooler change for Sunday expected. A top of 30 degrees from the BOM is near ideal by the time 4:30pm rolls around and even better when the sun goes down Weather.

Headlining Carols this year is country music legend Adam Harvey. For those not clued up about Adam, he has won eight Golden Guitar Awards and sold over half a million albums in a career that has spanned twenty years. Of course there will be some local representation from the Megan Philips Dance Academy, the Caniaba Public School, Summerland Christian College, Northern Rivers Conservatorium, Cath Simes Band and Marlaina & Ruben Garcia.

Crozier Field is where you need to head on Sunday afternoon. The gates will open at 4:30pm with the carols starting from 5:30. Parking can be accessed via Uralba and Brewster Streets. Apart from the singing there will also be face painting, jumping castles and visit from the big red boy.

A word or warning! You cannot bring candles into this year's Carols In The Heart for obvious fire reasons. Glow sticks will be available instead. Glass is also not permitted into the venue for safety reasons while dogs are not allowed too.

If you want to take the kids and check out some Xmas Lights this weekend, the list is now loaded on out Christmas button on the front page of the Lismore App. If you have your location switched on the lights closest to you will appear at the top of the list so it is easy to navigate your way around street to street Christmas.

The rest of the weekend is about markets, markets and more markets! Always good with Christmas nineteen days away.

The Lismore Farmers Markets are open from 8am tomorrow morning and the Blue Knob markets are from 8:30am. An early start is recommended because of the sweltering day ahead. Then the Lismore Vintage and Handmade markets are on between 10am and 2pm at the NR Conservatorium at 152 Keen Street.

Sunday sees the final Channon markets of the year from 9am to 3pm. They will need some support as the November markets were cancelled due to the bush fires so if you can jump in the car and head to the Channon.

Tina Turner fans can enjoy Irish performer Rebecca O'Connor belting out all of Tina's hits at the Lismore Workers Club on Saturday night at 7:30. The tour is called Simply The Best and must include that song (probably without Barnesy though!), What's Love Got To Do With It, Proud Mary, We Don't Need Another Hero, What You Get Us What You See, Typical Male and loads more. The good news is that this event is FREE! You have to love that at this time of year.

There is some great sport too with the Northern Rivers Cricket League and the Far North Coast Softball Association at Albert Park, Lismore.

There are three First Grade matches being played in Lismore tomorrow, with a 1pm start. Marist Brothers and Northern Districts will be a great encounter to watch under shade at Mortimer Oval (Recreation 8). League leaders Goonellabah Workers Sports host Casino RSM Redbacks at Nesbitt Park, South Lismore and Lismore Workers' match with Eastern Districts at Nielson Park, East Lismore, is set to be a tight affair.

That is the Weekend Wrap. Have a great two days off and stay cool.
