Sunnyvale is a farming district situated in the heart of the Northern York Peninsular and is also the home of an approx 120 yr old church where Graeme & Lynne Hugo with help from friends and family are ready to start another chapter in their Country Music book of Life.
“Rustic Country at Sunnyvale” as it will be known is predominately aimed at people being brought in by coach arriving at around 10.30am where they will be greeted with morning tea and a chance to browse around the souvenier shop. Then into the church hall for an hour and half concert performed by Graeme and friends before heading into the dining hall for a 2 coarse meal - (charcoal chicken wing, snag & salad and dessert). After a stroll around or just a chat for a while the coach will depart for (if time permits) a drive around the Copper Coast Triangle before heading home.
Individual bookings can also be catered for on selected days. For more information you can contact Graeme or Lynne on 0427 810 175,
