For just $20, participants will receive a bingo book and barbecue lunch.
The event will get underway from noon with lunch and bingo at 1.30pm. With many great prizes on offer, the day is sure to be a crowd pleaser, while raising money for Country Hope at the same time.
Miss Bartram has planned a family fun day at the Leeton and District Bowling Club, with proceeds going to her Can Assist charity. The event will have many Aussie favourites on the itinerary and it all starts at 2pm.
There will be yabby races, a thong-throwing competition, corner-to-corner bowls, coin toss and much more.
If sitting back and relaxing is more your style, Amber Williams will be on hand to provide her musical stylings throughout.
A barbecue will also ensure no one goes hungry.
Fellow entrants Belinda Mahalm and Vicki Hester will also be at Leeton Shire Council's pool party with face painting and a sausage sizzle running for a small cost.
