What’s On

A great day out for all! This is the first year since Covid that the Fair will run, and we couldn’t be more excited. As the organiser of the Myall River Fair – the Myall Times has been overwhelmed by… the positive response to the recent announcement of the event being held along the Tea Gardens waterfront on Saturday, October 5. Here’s just some of the happenings on the day. Members of the Jimmy’s Beach Aquatic Club will race their surf boats on the river, the ducks will raise money for our local Tea Gardens Public School. There will be a dog show compared and sponsored by Sharon from Greenpaws Mobile Dog Wash, Grooming and Pet Supplies. Lots of prizes will be on offer for your precious pooches – including awards for the waggliest tail, the beautiful and not so beautiful and ‘Best in Show’. The legendary ‘Wet T Shirt’ competition so popular at the ‘Prawn Festival’ held in the last century – will be back with a twist – ‘G’ rated – as appropriate in the year 2024 but still guaranteed to be plenty of fun. There’ll be plenty of live music, fire trucks for the kids to explore, vintage cars to crave over, members of the Tea Gardens Men’s Shed will show off some of their creations, Boomerang Bags and petting zoo.
