From 1pm onward they are hoping Macleay Valley residents will join them to help raise money for the fight against cancer.
Last years event saw more than $15,000 raised. Some of those funds were then used to buy a portable refrigerated centrifuge machine-which tests blood samples, and palliative care beds for patients and their families.
This year they are hoping to raise enough for a Welch Allyn Monitor, a device used to check vital signs and some equipment for Kempsey Hospital.

The event has been growing each year, with 120 people attending in the first year and more than 200 in the second. This year they are hoping to continue the trend and have even more people take part.
The day will involve raffles, food, and an afternoon of fun. A variety of different colours will also be on display to represent all the various forms of cancer.
Tickets are on sale now for $15 at Curves and Just Lingerie. Buying in advance isn't compulsory; however, it is recommended to help the Lilli Pilli ladies estimate numbers beforehand. There will be tickets available on the day as well.
One of the key organisers Lyn Gleeson wishes to thank the community for their generous support which has made all this possible.
The Lilli Pilli Ladies are expecting to keep the event going for the foreseeable future and invite everyone to attend the morning tea on October 13 and all future events.
