They will commence to-day and go through to Sunday which is the main day.
With the planned Bike and Car show on Sunday, the swap meet, both of which will be run by the Lions Club, and ‘pop up’ stalls there should be something to keep tourists and locals entertained.
The planned murals to be painted this year include the Imperial picture theatre, which will be on the side of the supermarket wall as this was the original picture theatre.
The theatre was also the venue for many balls and concerts, even in the time that the picture theatre was operating.
St Mary McKillop with the original hall and the convent, along with the Fat Lamb Hotel, will be painted onto panels and then placed in the positions where they are to go.
The murals committee have two excellent raffles - one being an Aussie fire bucket made and donated by John Den and a beautiful garden bench made and decorated by Ron Hay.
These will be drawn on Sunday afternoon with tickets available at the front of Parallel Motors over the weekend.
The NSW Utility Dog Trials will be held at the Showground over these days - Friday, Saturday and Sunday starting at 8am. Entry is free.
There will be a commissioning service of the new bell tower in honour of the late Ernest Howell at the Welsh Memorial Church at 10am on Sunday with all invited.
The Golden Eagles Rugby League Club has a home game on Sunday so with all the activities that are going on why not go out and enjoy all that is on offer.
Since the Murals project started five years ago the wonderful works of creative art have drawn many visitors to our town now known as ‘The Village of Murals’.
