The free comedy and barbecue night is for farmers, volunteers and their families impacted by the March fires.

Organiser Lynne Rees said it was the third community event which had been held since the fires. “At the Dixie one a farmer came up to me to say thank you and explained what it meant to him and that meant everything to me,” she said.

The event will start at 6.30pm at the Five Star Function Centre in Camperdown and there will be plenty of children’s activities.
