There will be plenty of giggles as you bid for a coffee date with George Negus as well as a range of amazing art works, designer home wares and a family pass to the Big Banana.

Interactive workshops in circus skills, model boat building and yoga will keep the kids occupied plus there is a relaxing pamper session, a jumping castle and face painting.

The event is hosted by Alithia Inc. and is a fundraiser to support  the work of this volunteer-run, not-for-profit group that provides opportunities, activities and resources for families on the Mid North Coast. 

People of all ages are also invited to build a raft and bring it along to test its merits in the community sailing spectacle, or, if something smaller suits you better, enter a homemade model boat in the mini race – or simply cheer on your favourites as participants sink or sail.

For more information, head to alithialearning.org.au, where you will find the full program, prizes for the sailing races, and contact information to ask any questions or book a stall.

Entry is by donation: recommended $5 per adult or $10 per family.
