The last weekend of summer will see some showers somewhere across the Lismore LGA. The Bureau of Meteorology is forecasting showers over Saturday and Sunday with a range of 0mm to 7/8mm.

Temperatures will range from 18 degrees overnight to 28 degrees as the maximum.

Saturday is February 28, four years on from the big flood. Our city is still in the process of recovering from the devastation and will be for quite a few years to come. In the last four years, we have experienced three minor floods, one moderate flood, and no major flooding. May that trend continue.

Some people want to acknowledge the date and keep moving forward, while others want to share the day with family and friends to commemorate the biggest flood in recorded history.

ARTS

Prima Facie, a NORPA production, is on stage at the Starcourt Theatre tonight and tomorrow night (Saturday).

The play has captivated audiences worldwide, and has travelled the village circuit, that is Tweed, Murwillumbah, Kyogle, Grafton, and now Lismore, as the last two performances.

Tickets are $30-$69, and can be booked by clicking here.

MARKETS

Only the one market in the Lismore LGA this weekend. That is the Lismore Farmers Market tomorrow morning from 7:30 at the Lismore Showgrounds.
