The gates of White Park will open at 5.30pm on Wednesday, January 30, and the performance starts at 6pm.
Entry is free as Upper Hunter Shire Council is proudly hosting the event, although a gold coin donation is appreciated.
There will be food available for purchase.
Award-winning artist Tom Curtain accompanied by his horses, dogs and original music loves to make audiences smile with his family-friendly performances.
“There aren’t too many events where all age groups from toddlers through to retirees can enjoy the event,” he said.
The show also has a serous anti-bullying message to spread.
Through his close relationship with the parents of Amy “Dolly” Everett, Curtain was inspired to write Speak Up, a single released with fellow Golden Guitar winner, Sara Storer, reaching No.1 on the iTunes Country Music Chart and raising money and awareness for Dolly’s Dream.
He hopes to inspire audiences that anything is possible with the right mindset and hard work.
“I will be sharing my story of growing up in drought on our family farm, and the challenges we have experienced in getting where we are today, together with the Speak Up message on behalf of Dolly’s Dream,” Curtain said.
All money raised through gold coin donations will be used to build local capacity to deal with mental health issues.
