Rotary president Kathy Mills said 21 community groups would have stalls set up and be given the chance to reach out to the community — and have the community reach out to them — at the event.
Awards will be handed out from 11am, with the flag-raising ceremony and national anthem from 10.30am.
Mrs Mills said she was looking forward to the event.
“We’re trying to get all organisations present which helped us get through 2020 and 2021 to say thank you,” she said.
“There’ll be a lot who won’t be present — members are still away or unable to attend — but it’ll be exciting.”
The day will also celebrate the contributions made to the community by individuals and business, and the club is still calling for nominations for three awards — a junior community award, a community business award and a community service award.
The junior community award is for a person under the age of 16, or who is still at secondary school, who has demonstrated leadership in the community. This may be in a school setting, in sport, employment or by volunteering.
The Seymour Police Award will also be handed out on the day.
Mrs Mills said she hoped people would get behind the awards and keep nominations coming in, and she wanted them to reflect the best of Seymour’s community.
She said while there were a few concerns about coronavirus numbers, Rotary had planned as best it could to keep people safe and was looking to forge ahead with the celebrations.
The event is running concurrently with the agricultural society’s Show Off Competition with the baking, needlework and craft, photography and wool classing all occurring in the pavilion.
The Big Breakfast begins at 8am, while entertainment will include a jumping castle, the inaugural Seymour Gift Foot Race and a drawing and Minties competition, as well as a Seymour Car Club display.
