Thanks to the Queensland Government’s Drought Support Package funding, TRC’s Community Development team brought the Festival of Small Halls Summer Tour to seven small towns across the region, with all funds raised from ticket sales and catering going directly to the local hall committees. The concert brings international, national and local musicians to perform for one night of music and fun and is produced by the team that co-ordinates the Woodford Folk Festival.

The festival rolled into Westbrook in November, bringing Australian artist Lucy Wise and Canadian artist Old Man Luedecke. Fifty people turned out to enjoy the night, which included a barbecue, bar and free jumping castle for the children. Many thanks to CDO Andrew Spradbrow for his work with the Hall Committee to organise the event and to the other TRC staff who lent a hand on the day.
