The meteor shower will begin on Saturday, with the best viewing any time after midnight.

Peak viewing will be from about 5.40am Sunday, when more than 100 multi-coloured meteors will glide across the sky.

There will be a full moon during the shower, but people can still expect to see an average 20-40 meteors an hour.

Viewers do not need binoculars or a telescope to see the shower - they will just need to give their eyes about 15-20 minutes to adjust to the night sky.

The Geminids meteor shower takes place at a similar time each and every year, when Earth passes through a cloud of debris from an asteroid.

In other news, members of the Henty Lions Club have taken on another project to help drought-stricken farmers in the northern and western areas of New South Wales.

They are raising funds to keep these farmer's working dogs alive, when in many cases they can no longer afford to feed them.

People wanting to make a cash donation to help these farmers should contact either Henty Lions Club president Julie Colley on 0427 293 585, Connie Ross on 0427 991 788 or Lorri Roden on 0438 003 071.

Henty Lions members are still recycling paper which can be left at the collection bin at Henty's council yard in Smith Street, Henty.

Henty's fair and carols was again well supported, with crowds gathering from early afternoon and into the evening.

There was no sign of the clouds that put the damper on last year's festivities.

A crowd of about 300 attended the fair, and 200 or so stayed for the carolling.

Comments heard were that the event was fantastic and better than expected.

Sue Weston and Ann Maher were prominent in the Murrumbidgee Magic Chorus.
