"Basically, anybody and everybody is invited to come and have a look," WAMA Patron Glenda Lewin said.
"Team leaders and board members will be on hand to talk to and there'll be some fabulous hands-on activities for kids and adults alike."
WAMA's 'Seeding the Arts' program will be introducing a couple of new activities and the spectacular 'Raku' kiln will be fired up again.
Entomologist Denis Crawford will be giving those in attendance an insight into the ancient communities of 'Ants' that we share the WAMA site with.
Apiarists, Rob and Steff Arnts, will also be introducing attendees to their bees as residents enjoy the honey on hot damper fresh from the campfire.
"There'll be lots of fun and things to check out," WAMA volunteer Peter Voice said.
"The clay for the 'Raku' workshop is absolutely beautiful to play with and the firing is truly amazing.
"The day also has a serious side. WAMA is a sustainable project that will bring millions of dollars into the local economy for decades to come and we want the communities to understand and support it. The best way to do that is to invite everyone to come and have a look, a cuppa and a natter."
The site is on the corner of the Pomonal to Halls Gap Road and Neal Road (almost opposite Halls Gap Zoo) and the gates are open from 11 am to 4 pm. You can find out more about WAMA at www.wama.net.au or make enquiries on (03) 9999 9767.
