The final weekend before Term 2 begins across NSW, is looking wet, surprise surprise. However, it could be as little as 1mm up to 7mm for Saturday and 0 to 4mm on Sunday. The chance of some rain is high.
The temperatures have been slowly dropping in the last few weeks. We can expect 22/23 degrees this weekend with the minimums 12/13 degrees as the doonas start getting put back on beds.
It is a market weekend in the Lismore LGA with three markets on the calendar.
Of course, the Lismore Farmers Markets gets activities underway tomorrow (Saturday) morning from 7:30 with the champion chooks taking the spotlight along with the usual fresh fruit & veg, hot coffee/tea and breakfasts.
The Lismore Poultry's Club 'Young Bird Show' starts 8am, in the pavilion behind the market area.
Heritage Park will be open for rides on the miniature railway between 10:30am and 4pm both days.
On Sunday, the Rock Valley Hall Markets between 8am and 12 noon at 772 Rock Valley Road.
On offer will be a BBQ Breakfast with GF and vegetarian options as well as local honey, trash & treasure, creative crafts, poultry, plants, art, clothing and more.
As it is the last Sunday of the month, the Nimbin Markets will swing into action at 9am at 81 Cullen Street with the usual unique offerings that only Nimbin could provide.
We move into May next Wednesday, and that means Lismore moves into the autumn/winter 'Event' season.
Check out what's on in May:
After more NRRRL games were washed out last week due to more saturated playing fields, it's hoped to get through the full schedule this weekend.

There are no games for Football Far North Coast this weekend.
