Boot throwing, a jumping castle, tug-o-war, a car display, pony rides and much more are just some of the planned activities.

There will also be over 80 stallholders selling "an absolute truck load of stuff" including jewellery, children's clothing, cakes, art and decor.

Event organiser Tracie Finlay said interest from locals had been "absolutely overwhelming" and everyone wanted to get involved.

"Everybody's wanted to do something from little things to big things and people wanting to donate their time," she said.

"The spirit lives on in Gunnedah for Christmas while there's a drought, it seems as though everybody wants to have that special part of Christmas."

Ms Finlay said there would also be plenty of seating this year.

"We want to keep people here so you've got to have somewhere to sit," she said.

The fair, hosted by Gunnedah Chamber of Commerce, will be held on Friday evening from 5.30pm on Conadilly Street.
