Spring has sprung.

What better way to celebrate than with Fathers Day on Sunday?

Fortunately, there is plenty to do with dad this weekend, including the footy and netball finals rounds, cars and coffee on the wharf, a Fathers Day market and even a dinner dance.

If your weekend is chockers and you can’t make it to the footy, then you can watch it on RMFL TV’s live stream.

In other news, Burdett Hall will celebrate its centenary with a ball this Saturday night, and Murray Bridge Regional Gallery will host a screen printing session with Tatty K.

A friendly reminder that council nominations close at midday on Tuesday, so make sure you get in before then if you are thinking of running to be a councillor or mayor.
