The South Otago community has rallied behind Lawrence to ensure the historic daffodil fields are in good shape for ''Circus Dayze'' tomorrow.
Organiser Kim ''Dusty'' Murtagh said members of the Balclutha Round Table helped set up a new marquee after the old one was was destroyed in June's heavy snows.
Lawrence residents Craig Morrison, Paddy Hotton and Steve Robertson cleared fallen and damaged trees, while workers supplied by the Department of Corrections removed debris and repaired the damage so that the site is safe for the public, with all areas open.
A circus group from the University of Otago will show their talents, and there will be face painting, and pony rides on Francesca the Gypsy Cob. Magician Jonathan Usher will also perform a few shows.
Circus Dayze is the central event of Daffodil Dayze - which runs each year during spring, from September 1 to November 30. It features the ruins of Otago's most successful provincial brewery and includes walks and rare plant species.
Ms Murtagh said the site's ''fairies'' were missing after the snow, and encouraged visitors to bring some new fairies to place throughout the forest.
The 10ha field of daffodils at the former Black Horse Brewery site at Wetherstons was first planted 118 years ago. In its heyday in the 1930s, it attracted thousands of visitors.
Hart's Black Horse Brewery, at Wetherstons, was registered as a Category 1 Historic Places Trust listing on February 28.
The site is open each day from 10am to 5pm. After paying an entry fee, visitors can walk through fields of daffodils and the brewery ruins.
