You have to love the cooler weather this week plus the odd shower or two. This will continue over the weekend according to the BOM before some mid 30's temps again next week. There is the high chance of showers on both Saturday and Sunday with the possibility of a thunderstorm. Saturday is predicted to be the wettest day with 10-25mm.

So, what is happening in our fair city?

The weekend kicks off with two iconic markets, namely the Lismore Farmers Markets at the Showgrounds from 8:30am and the Blue Knob Markets from 9am. With fruit and vegies looking a bit light on in certain supermarkets it is worth the trip to buy some fresh farm produce.

The Lismore Speedway is right in the middle of their busiest run of meetings. After Tuesday's best crowd in ten years meeting with the Sprintcars hitting the track, this Saturday sees another drawcard with the bash and smash of the Demolition Derby. Gates open at 5:30pm.

Sunday sees more market activity with the Car Boot Markets on at the Square from 8:30am to 3pm.

For those a little more energetic the Lismore Region Deadly Fun Run is on Sunday morning at 8:30 from the Goonellabah Skate Park. Entry is free for a 3km or 5km run.

If it is entertainment you seek, the Country Witches Association - Third Meeting Lismore is on at the Dusty Attic Music lounge tonight from 7pm. At the end of a big week who doesn't need a laugh, tickets are $25.

The Nimbin Bowling Club takes a different tack with Sarah Stando performing her original jazz 'n soul inspired music from 6pm. This is a free event.

Saturday night, the South Lismore Bowling Club has the Johnny's rocking the stage with a trip back to the late 80's and the heyday of rock and roll. Local band Slug are supporting and it's only $10 at the door from 8pm.

If you are involved in sport over the weekend, good luck to you! The weather may keep you indoors.
