Country Jams at the Goal is a new event coming to Kilmore on Saturday, June 10, featuring a day of entertainment for the whole family.
KD Event Management, in conjunction with Macs Irish Pub Kilmore, is hosting Country Jams at Old Kilmore Gaol, featuring live country music by Emily Hatton, Gareth Leach, Will Rounds, and Michael Bowkett.
The day first kicks off with a free family-friendly event from 10am to 3pm – Country Kids at the Gaol.
A jumping castle, face painting, petting zoo and music is sure to keep children entertained.
There will also be food vendors, trade stalls, a bucking bull, and The Signature Bull Ringers Western Truck Shop, who will then stay on for the evening ticketed event, from 6pm to 12am.
The evening event will feature six hours of Australian country music, and patrons will also have access to a bar, with drinks at bar prices.
For those wanting to really make a night of it, Country Jams will also have a special VIP area, with tickets including beer, soft drink and nibbles.
KD Event Management owners Darryl Wicks and Kristie Briffa said they had been working closely with Jeremy, the owner of the Old Kilmore Goal, to provide a quality event and venue.
“We hope to do this three or four times a year, and we already have interest from other well-known artists from Australia and the US,” Mr Wicks said.
“People can follow us on Facebook and like our page to keep informed of our future events.”
Mr Wicks thanked a list of Kilmore businesses who had supported the event through sponsorship – Mitre 10, Wilson Partners, Kilmore Smash Repairs, Philman Earthmoving, Nutrien Ag Kilmore and Dove Automotive – Kilmore Toyota.
Tickets to the evening event are general admission $50 adults; $25 for juniors 10-17 years; and children under 10 are free, while VIP tickets are $125.
Mr Wicks advised that bulk purchases of tickets can be bought at a cheaper rate, and encouraged people to gather a group of friends and family to enjoy the event.
Those wishing to purchase in bulk can visit the Country Jams Facebook page or www.ticketebo.com.au/kd-events/country-jams-at-the-gaol.
