February is one of those months where not a great deal is happening.

Christmas and New Year have been and gone, the kids are back at school and we all settle back to the routine of a working life.

March is where the action is with International Women's Day weekend from March 6 to 8 and Eat The Street on Saturday March 14.

This weekend we are relying on the good old markets to keep us entertained.

The Lismore Farmers Markets kick off at 8am at the Showgrounds Saturday morning while the Blue Knob markets start at 8:30 tomorrow.

The monthly Nimbin markets are on Sunday from 9am to 1pm. Loads of multicultural foods, great coffee, handmade items and spiritual concepts.

The Regional Gallery has three exhibitions on that is worth checking out. RocoColonial, Blinman Slag and Media Studies. Find out more here (Lismore Regional Gallery)

The weather looks ok for the weekend. Yes, there is a 50-60% chance of rain but the prediction from the BOM is only 0-4mm so don't let it ruin your chances of getting out and about.

This is welcome news for those involved in Sport, finally games may not be washed out!

The inaugural T20 Club Challenge between Goonellabah Workers and Cecil Magpies is on at Oakes Oval tonight at 6pm. T20 is always a bit of fun with loads of action so get down to Oakes Oval and see some spectacular hitting.

It's the penultimate round of the region's prestigious L J Hooker Competition and third-placed Lismore Workers, full of promising youngsters superbly led by Jason Caught, face Tintenbar-East Ballina at Oakes Oval from 1pm.

A final word on Relay For Life. You may have seen our new button this week on the main page. I urge you to push on the button and check out what you can do to help raise money for the Cancer Council. Cancer comes in many forms and affects many people in our community.

Saturday March 28 at 3pm is when the Relay For Life walk begins with the end on Sunday March 29 at 9am. The venue is the SCU campus on Military Road, East Lismore.

So far, 50 teams have registered with 303 participants, 67 of those are cancer survivors and carers.

The goal is to raise $100,000 dollars from the Relay For Life event. So far the total is just over $30,000 with 38 days to go. Please get a team together and participate or if you are unable, donate, which you can do from the Relay For Life button.

Have a great weekend!
