Christmas is just around the corner so there is plenty of fun stuff happening in the region this week.
Jockeys will cling to their horses and jostle for silverware in races in Goulburn and Moruya, avid punters in boats will take to Lake Jindabyne, and the voices of angels will fill the centre of Cooma.
Learn the ins and outs of hanging pot plants in Moruya, or the basics of painting at Wallaga Lake (with some alcohol to help get the creativity flowing).
And if you still haven’t sorted all your Christmas gifts yet, this is the last call for late-night shopping in Yass.
