On September 20, we invite you to join us for the very first Town & Country Ball — a new event created by the community, for the community.
This is more than just a night out.

It’s a celebration of the people who keep our region thriving — our farmers and primary producers — and a chance to give back to those who have given so much.
Over the past five years, many of our producers have endured not one, but two devastating floods, not to mention the fires and drought too.
Despite it all, they’ve shown resilience, strength, and an unwavering commitment to their work and providing us with food and produce for our homes.
The H + H Town & Country Ball will bring us together for a night of connection, music, food, and purpose, with further details to be revealed over the next few weeks. Every ticket sold helps us support those who feed and sustain our community.
