Following the success of their sheep drive for farmers earlier in the year the Rotary Club of Laurieton will be out in force over the holiday period selling toy koalas, sheep, llamas and bears.

The stuffed toy drive will be to raise funds for local Rural Fire Service brigades and to help farmers across New South Wales still battling through severe drought.
Club president Jean Wyper said she hoped the community came together and supported the club's latest fundraising endeavour.
"We had so much support from our sheep sales earlier in the year that we decided to expand our range ahead of Christmas," Ms Wyper said.
"We have Phil the fireman, Kelly the koala, Laura the llama and Roger the ram who will be on sale at the markets this weekend and also at our booksale in January.
"The soft toys are a great stocking stuffer if you need a last minute Christmas present and the proceeds from the sales will go directly to helping our community."
Earlier in the year the club donated an extraordinary $20,000 to drought relief efforts through the community supporting their fundraising efforts.
Ms Wyper said in light of the recent fires and ongoing drought situation any money raised will be much appreciated.
"Our wonderful RFS volunteers have done an extraordinary job recently and with most of summer still to go any money we can donate to them is great," she said.
"And any money we can donate to our excellent farmers who have been doing it tough for months and years now will also be much appreciated."
You can find the club and their toys at the Laurieton Riverwalk markets on December 15.
