Hundreds of posters have been printed with images of the golfer and shooter to allow children to get their autographs.
Corowa Golf Club will host Fraser and his caddy Jason Wallis from 11am Saturday with them each playing 18 holes before the welcome home party at 5.30pm.
Bangerang Park will be the scene for Mulwala-based Willett’s homecoming celebration on Sunday August 28 at 11am.
A banner has been strung over Corowa’s Sanger Street to hail the pair’s return.
Organiser Shaun Whitechurch said everyone was welcome at tonight’s event with Fraser answering questions about his Rio deeds.
“We want to stress it’s a family night and kids can come in and get free souvenir posters and get Marcus to sign it, followed by James next week because he’s got his photo on it too,” Mr Whitechurch said.
