When looking on my iPhone all I see is rain forecast for the weekend which was not a good start for the Weekend Wrap.

I decided to ring Helen at the BOM to get the official word and my spirits lightened. Helen did say we may get some thunderstorms later tonight or early tomorrow morning but they will be fairly isolated.

Then on Sunday a southerly change, which is currently in the Hunter, will move up the coast containing a few showers for us but the forecast is nothing more than a few mills. Although, there could be the odd isolated patch of rain so beware.

Temperatures will be in the mid-twenties (27 and 26 degrees) which is perfect to explore one of the walks on the Lismore App Walks.

Check-out the glorious photos from last weekends walk to Minyon Falls. Apart from the usual tourists and backpackers there were a few families with young children making the trek down the path to base of the falls. It is a tiring but rewarding walk of about 3-4 hours. Parents beware that the final part is a climb over rocks to get to the falls but some families stopped at the river to let the kids swim instead.

The Lismore City Hall continues the three day Women's Festival over the weekend. There are events from 9am to 5pm over both days culminating in the Fabulous, Funny and Female comedy show at 3pm. Check out the full rundown of events here https://www.lismorewomensfestival.org/program-2020.

Market wise, there is quite a bit on offer.

The Lismore Farmers Markets are selling their wares at the Showground from 8am to 11:30 and the Blue Knob Markets between 8:30 and 11:30am. If you like garlic, corn and sweet potatoes there is plenty to choose from as well as some great local meats for sale.

The Lismore Vintage and Handmade Market is back on again at 152 Keen Street from 10am (runs until 2pm) and then on Sunday the monthly Channon Markets is worth a drive up the hill.

For music fans, there is some hard rock with Masochist, Usurper and Wicked at the Gollan tonight from 7pm and the Roaring 20's is on at Mary G's. Acts include Essie James, Jex Lopez and the Gravediggers, Fisted Sister, Kiss My Boots and more.

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