What's on today

SUNDAY brings with it the end of the Anzac Day long weekend, but before the kids go back to school for another term, why not take them out for some family fun?

For anyone looking to improve the quality of life in their household, the Sunday Mail Home Living Expo, held at Adelaide Showground, is a must-attend event. From renovations to energy-efficient home designs, it has all the latest information, products, ideas, interactive displays and practical advice.

There is also entertainment for the whole family, and action is spread across two huge pavilions and an outdoor exhibition. It runs from 10am to 6pm today, and admission is $8 for adults, $6 concession and children under 15 are free.

Today the Naracoorte Motorcycle Club, Gum Point Rd, is also running a sidecar spectacular. This is the second day of the motor cross event, which boasts 35 sidecar outfits competing in six classes.

However, if you would prefer a more relaxing atmosphere, rug up and get along to Sundays at the Adelaide Festival Centre. From 10am to 4pm there are arts and crafts markets, free and ticketed musical performances, plus children's entertainment and delicious food.

But if you think the young tackers will get more of a kick out of sitting in the cockpit of a real jet fighter, why not take a trip down to Classic Jets Fighter Museum at Parafield Airport? There they can have a go at developing and test-flying paper planes, or learn about aviation history by following a Jet Trail Adventure. Admission is $6.50 for adults, $16.50 for families, $3.50 for children 5 to 15 years, $5.50 for seniors and under 5's are free.

And for those of you craving some world music after the dust has settled on this year's WomAdelaide, tonight is your chance to see Indian Idol winner Prashant Tamang sing at the Norwood Concert Hall.

The West Bengal police officer, who had no formal training in music, is now a household name across India. Tamang is performing with legendary bollywood singer Sonu Nigaam. Tickets are $35, and the tour raises funds for the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Centre Appeal.

The annual Vintage and Classic Day is on at McLaren Vale, with a parade down Main St at 11.15am. Cars will be on display at wineries from noon. Whether you are a Mustang, BMW, Jaguar or Mercedes-Benz enthusiast - or perhaps just looking for somethind to do - this nostalgic display is sure to impress.

And if you work up an appetite from all the gallivanting around, and are looking for a quick and cheap snack, duck into Bakers Delight and grab one of their Pink Buns, from which 100 per cent of the sale goes to supporting Australians affected by breast cancer. The promotion began on Thursday and runs until May 14. Now that's guilt-free grazing!

For any die-hard cat lovers, you may be interested to know that today the Burmese Specialist Cat Club All Breeds Championship Cat Show is on at United Way Hall, Elizabeth City Shopping Centre. Owners can also get information and advice on their beloved Burmese felines. It's open to the public from 9am to 4pm.
