The weekend continues to grow each year, with a range of events to cater for all age groups.

“We are getting more and more people coming every year,” one of the organisers Leeann Lloyd said.

The introduction of the fun run events on the Saturday has proven a winner for the town.

“It gives something else for everyone to do and it encourages people to stay overnight,” Leeann said.

The charity fun runs this year will raise money for the Rainbow Cottage Pre School.

The fun runs are open to all ages, with a 2km from 3pm and a 5km from 3.30pm.

Entries are taken on the day and every participant receives a certificate and medal.

There is no timing, with the emphasis on participation.

Michael Dougherty and the team from Quality Inn, Coffs Harbour, are the gold sponsors of the fun runs and are always well represented on the day.

The entry fee for the 2km is $5 and 5km is $7.
