"We want everyone to be able to attend, so we've worked hard to ensure there are low-cost events, especially considering the recent hardships the community is facing with a drought present," Ms Field said.

"We know there are people in our community who are suffering from the effects of the drought. So having low costs and free events was more important to us than ever.

"There are at least three events people can attend and enjoy with a simple bottle of water and vegemite sandwich, and no other costs.
