World class musos brought locals together at the Eungella Community Hall over the weekend, as part of the Festival of Small Halls Summer 2022 Tour.
Festival of Small Halls features folk-pop songwriter Sam Buckingham from northern New South Wales and young traditional-folk trio Inn Echo from Canada, while they tour small communities up the east coast of Queensland.
Community Bank Sarina sponsored the tour performance in Eungella with Board Chair Karen May being the emcee for the evening.
“Post-pandemic, we have been focusing on sponsorships for community organisations and groups to hold events and we couldn’t pass up on the opportunity to help bring a large event to our valley community,” said Ms May.
“In the past, we have partnered with the Eungella State School P&C Association who organised and catered the Festival of Small Halls Eungella performance.
“We sponsored the P&C again to assist in the costs associated with organising this year’s event, including covering the booking fees for the venue, so more profits could go back to the students.”
Eungella State School P&C Association member Mandy Tennent is grateful for the sponsorship and “looks forward to continuing and building our relationship with Community Bank Sarina Bendigo Bank in future years”.
“This sponsorship has helped more profits to go back to our P&C, and therefore flow onto our remote rural students, in support of their education.”
“Bringing world-class musos to our local hall for a night of magic and entertainment in the Valley means our community doesn’t have to travel far to experience something they would in the city.”
