Wonderful Wednesday:

Today’s post is all about appreciation for the wonderful people who contributed to our recent country music fundraiser!

On the 22nd of June we had a lovely afternoon of country music to raise funds for TraxFM 🎤🎶

Thank you once again to the Northern Country Music Association (NCMA) for their support and use of their wonderful venue!

Thank you to our volunteers as well for helping the afternoon run smoothly, especially Vicki who organised almost everything!

Also big thank you to the artists who gave up their time to perform for us! We had Kate Fitzgerald And The 3G’s, who travelled from Port Augusta, Mary Bateman, a Pirie local, and Merv Nayda and Ray Walters, 2 proud supporters of TraxFM.

Finally, thank you to everyone who attended and showed their support for our community radio station! We are so grateful to have such a wonderful community!
