People are being encouraged to sport to bald look in support of the Child Cancer Foundation.

From 11am at Mount Main Beach, people will be able to register for the annual shaving event, with clippers being taken to hair at 11.30am.

The Mount Beach Bald 2015 Funrazor Shave Your Lid for a Brave Kid the event attracted around 20 people and CCF business development manager Delwynne Hahunga is hoping for the same, if not more, this year.

'Some people are quite nervous about what they're doing but because it has such significant meaning, that's why they are here. They're not just having a haircut.”

The money raised from today's event will go towards children with cancer and their families.

'We do all sorts of things for our kids and families and every family is different,” says Delwynne, 'we help them however they need help.”

Also on today is the Te Puna Country Fair.

Organiser and Te Puna PTA member Lissa Carston says everyone is invited to the fair, which will be a relaxing day of fun for everyone.

The day starts 9am with people turning up early for the jumble sale, and all of the usual drawcards will open from there.

Children can enjoy coconut shy, plate smash, rifle range shooting, face painting and much more.
