While the wait for rain continues, the community will once again come together at the Bellata Golf Club on November 9, during what would usually be the start of the harvest period for Harvest Under the Stars, take two - Down but not out ... yet.
"This is our second year of the event," Bellata Golf Club president David Kirkby said.
"It started because there was no harvest last year, so we thought why not get everyone together and get off the farm and have a shindig and relax and not think about it.
"There won't be a harvest again this year, so we thought why not do it again."

Last year's Harvest Under the Stars event ended up drawing 250 people from across the district, and this year is expected to be even bigger.
"It's got a bit of a reputation now," Mr Kirkby said.
Featuring cocktails, canapes catered by Relish and live entertainment by Moree band Avenue 4 Troy, as well as old and new harvesters on display, the cocktail event promises to be a great night out.
"It should be a good night," Mr Kirkby said.
Everyone from across the district is invited to attend, with buses running from Moree and Narrabri, as well as a local Bellata bus.
Tickets are $50 and can be purchased online at www.trybooking.com/55574.
The festivities will begin at 6.30pm on Saturday, November 9 at the Bellata Golf Club.
