Families can enjoy shopping in the market stalls, browse for books and plants and try their luck in the Easter egg raffle.

Hosted by the Grace Munro Centre Auxiliary, the event is a major fundraiser for the aged care facility, which has always garnered strong community support.

Local Bruce McLean said the auxiliary has been essential to the centre's success, formed before the building even opened in 2004.

"They started off with five members and those five members are still members. They kicked off with $18. In that time, they've raised over $290,000 that's been spent in the hostel," he said.

He said the small centre provided personalised service for residents and an opportunity for locals to remain in their hometown as they age. Previous fundraisers have gone towards bedspreads, chairs and Christmas parties for the residents.

With a wide variety of market stalls on offer, the fete will kick off from 10am on April 20 at the Grace Munro Centre, or the School of Arts hall the weather is wet.

Stall holders can still book a place by calling Donna McLean on 67 237 178.
