The event is called Flanno 4 a Farmer, with prizes going to the best flanno outfit for men, women and kids.
It’s a family day and night out, with live music, an auction, raffles, prizes, kids activities and sausage sizzle.
Among the entertainers are Amitie, 35% Band, Peter Riley, Twiggy, Izzy N Gerry, Gerholom Jonson and DJ Fatboi.
And kids activities include face painting, jumping castle, egg and spoon races and apple bobbing.
It all kicks off at 1pm, with organisers asking for a gold coin donation upon arrival.
There will also be a mechanical bull and Nudge Jamie Williams will be shaving his head and beard.
The money raised from the event will go to Drought Angels, a not-for-profit charity that supports Australian farmers.
Drought Angels was formed in January 2014 by Nicki Blackwell and Natasha Johnston, who are both very passionate about rural Australia and the effects of Australia’s worst drought in history.
The charity assists farmers with pre-paid visa cards, local store vouchers, stockfeed and moral support so farmers know they are not alone.
