Yee-Ha! It’s “Rock Country”
That’s right folks “Rock Country” is back! A night where the best and brightest contestants from around the village and surrounding areas come together to perform their favourite Country & Western hits from Dolly Parton to Garth Brooks and loads more. The show will have a great mix of styles and types of singers preforming on the night and next week I hope to confirm the full list of performers.
