Heating up ahead of the Sweet Days Hot Nights Festival this weekend, the Home Hill Chamber of Commerce meeting last Wednesday was its usual entertaining mix of guest speakers and lively debate.
Erin Brennan from the Home Hill Choral Society gave the audience a heartfelt and engaging insight into the 94-year history of this dynamic community group of players and performers.
Attendees were delighted by a PowerPoint presentation featuring photos from performances over the years and outlining the impressive efforts of committee members to generate funding and provide a dedicated venue for the group.
Bringing the community together with their regular shows, the Home Hill Choral Society is an exceptional group of community-oriented individuals.
Next to take the stage was Councillor John Furnell, who got everyone excited about the Sweet Days Hot Nights Festival.
Handing out event programs and branded balloons, John gave a passionate speech about the upcoming event, which is due to take place at the Home Hill Showgrounds this weekend.
Last to speak on the night was Rachael Smith, Editor of Burdekin Life Newspaper, who presented the latest bi-monthly edition of Core Life and Tripping Magazine.
Core Life is a business networking magazine, and Tripping is a leisure publication. Both are printed within the same book in a flip-format. Printing 15,000 issues every two months, the publications have been running for over 10 years and are distributed from Mackay to Ingham, including the Whitsundays, Burdekin, and Townsville.
During the evening, Rachael also launched the brand-new monthly Home Hill Happenings feature, debuting in the paper this week, and thanked local businesses for their support.
She finished by sharing that the newspaper now has a budget for a local, dedicated Sales Representative to join the team and encouraged interested community members to apply.
The evening came to a close with more conversation and networking opportunities.
Special thanks to the Home Hill Chamber of Commerce committee for presenting a positive and lively evening. Thanks also to Councillors John Furnell and Fina Vasta for attending.
