This week's special edition of The Bugle is filled with all the latest about the final days in the lead-up to the Kiama by-election on Saturday.

We have printed a limited print run 16-page newspaper which has hit the streets on Friday and also published our usual 26-page digital edition filled with even more local news, sport and community interest stories.

Candidates have been popping up everywhere: online, on the streets, even down the alleyways with their superiors and entourages.

After months without a local member, Kiama is ready to have someone in the seat again.

We have features on the four main candidates - Katelin McInerney, Serena Copley, Tonia Gray and Kate Dezarnaulds - as well as an article on Don Fuggle, the charismatic Legalise Cannabis Party nominee who has turned a few heads during the election campaign.

There is also all you need to know about this weekend's Folk By The Sea festival which will be music to the ears of Kiama residents.

You can also read plenty of great community stories including the drama at Jamberoo over red tape delays in development, Kiama Woodcraft Group's clash with Kiama Council over missing books and the Shoalhaven First Nations Film Festival.

In sport, you can read about Kiama Junior Football Club's grand final success, a couple of rising stars who have been rewarded by the Illawarra Academy of Sport and Kiama Rugby Club's grand final preparations for this weekend's big game.

Kiama will feature in the reserve and first grade grand finals at Collegians Sporting Complex in Figtree on Saturday at 1pm and 3pm respectively.
