Nambung’s Last Country Music Muster Raises $5000 for CCRF
The Nambung Country Music Muster, presented for the last time by Brian and Gloria White, brought music lovers together to enjoy great tunes and country fun from 20 October to 23 October, 2022.
“A wonderful weekend was had by all, even with a few showers of rain on the Sunday afternoon,” said Gloria. “An exceptional programme of Country Music was arranged by our musical directors Terry Bennetts and Evan Platschinda, enjoyed by a crowd of approximately 1,400 people.”
Held 2 hours north of Perth at Nambung Station, the event has taken place on the third weekend of October every year since 2016. Sadly, with the organisers and volunteers getting older, 2022 was Nambung’s last Country Music Muster.
Over the past seven years, the muster has showcased a diverse line-up of music, boot scooting and bush poetry. It has also held a small contingent of food stalls and local handicrafts for attendees to enjoy.
The popular annual event was not just about providing a great weekend for attendees, but it also raised money for local charities. To help support the vital research into childhood cancers, $5000 of the funds raised from the 2022 event was donated to our Foundation.
Over the event’s seven-year lifetime, an amazing total of $130,000 has been donated to selected charities. “Every attendee, volunteer and musician can be very proud of their contribution to this achievement,” expressed Gloria.
A big congratulations to Brian and Gloria for running such a successful event over the past seven years. Our Foundation is honoured to have been a beneficiary.
