We have two important words for our Home County supporters: Thank you! 💚🤍

We have been so humbled by your support through messages, donations, sponsorship, and more. We are so thankful that we were able to bring a little bit of the Home County spirit to you this summer.

We couldn't have done this without the support, initiative and passion of the folks at London Brewing Co-operative. To Bernie, Emma & Jim and the whole team at London Brewing, thank you so much for everything that you have done to make this happen. This idea started in a small room and it was amazing to see it come to life! We are so grateful for the support of Donaldson Home Services who supported this initiative in so many ways and have been historic supporters of Home County Music & Art. This event could not have happened without you!

Special thanks to the London Music Office, Nick and Howie at Digital Creative Arts Centre, Tourism London, Ontario & 94.9 FM Radio Western.

Keep your eyes out for a future announcement on the impact of your donations and support on the the Home County Future Fund.
