Val Little of the Friends of the Old Bega Hospital fundraising committee, said she has been amazed and delighted at the generosity of so many businesses and people in donating vouchers and gifts for the chocolate wheel and for other activities at the Fair.

Brett Rogers and his dog high jump equipment will be there at midday to entertain the crowd again this year.

The competition is in two divisions – small and large dogs, so lots of dogs are needed to make it a great show.

Also at the Spring Fair there will be demonstrations of leadlighting, lace-making, pottery, weaving, spinning and dyeing.

For the latter three, those coming to the fair, both young and old, can try their hand at the crafts.

Naturally there be lots of market stalls, many selling delicious food, including the cake stall run by the Friends.

Children are catered for not only in being able to try their hands at crafts but there's face painting, bobbing for apples and other activities.

In the former nurses' quarters there will be a display of the history of the Old Bega Hospital with photos, nurses, doctors and patients.

There will also be a chance for people to see what the plans are for the Old Bega Hospital when it is restored and becomes a vibrant community, cultural and tourist centre.

During the four hours of the Fair, from 10am to 2pm, The Hoops will entertain with their authentic 50s rock and roll music.
