Daffodil Day is a major fundraiser of the Cancer Council with all money raised helping the Cancer Council to continue its work in cancer research, providing patient support programs and prevention programs for all Australians. 

Daffodil Day helps grow hope for better treatments and more survivors.

The Cancer Council describes the daffodil represents as providing hope for a cancer-free future.

Each day more than 115 Australians will die of cancer and it is because of this that fundraising for a cure is so desperately needed. 

This year Daffodil Day aims to raise more than $9.7 million to fund the cancer control initiatives, patient support and research services of Cancer Council’s eight state and territory member organisations.

Last Friday, Ev and Deirdre were amongst more than 10,000 volunteers expected to staff more than 1200 Daffodil Day sites across Australia.

Weekend set 

ALL is shaping up for a great day of fun this Saturday when the Wattle Time Street Parade and Fair takes place. 

After the conclusion of the Street Parade which will make its way down the main street, everyone is invited back to Albert Park to relax at the Fair. 

It will be a great day for the whole family while showcasing Cootamundra and the surrounding region.

The Fair will feature market stalls, food courts, outdoor entertainment throughout the day, kids activities and rides to showcase all the things Cootamundra and the surrounding region have to offer while incorporating all things garden, home, lifestyle and leisure.
