“My name is Jenny Furner, and I am twenty years old. The amazing business sponsoring me for the 2019 Queen of Country Music Quest is Headlines Barbers.
“I am incredibly lucky to have the ongoing support of my sponsor, and I hope to make them proud of my growth and achievements during the quest.
“I am currently employed at Pets Domain, in customer service and retail. It’s an extremely rewarding job, where we are regularly involved with local rescue groups, and get to see cute pets every day (bonus!).
“I was born in Queensland, but grew up in the nearby town of Gunnedah, where most of my family still live.
“I made the decision to leave home at seventeen, to be closer to work and study opportunities, and to live closer to my grandfather.
“My mother is a born and bred Tamworth girl, and I’ve always felt a connection drawing me to this city. So once I moved here I quickly fell in love with Tamworth, and I couldn’t imagine ever wanting to leave again.
“I love to keep busy. In my spare time I like to write, and on many occasions have performed speeches, poems and short stories for audiences.

“I also love to sew. My mother taught me my first stitch when I was only four years old, and since then I have enjoyed drafting my own patterns, and sewing and wearing my own designs.
“I have a passion for style, and pride myself on my expressionistic clothing designs. I am also currently teaching myself to speak Hindi and Gujarati, and I’ve even been lucky enough to spend some time in Gujarat, India in November of last year.
“I am too am an animal lover, having two cats and a little dog of my own. I am passionate about rescuing animals, and can’t wait to help put more rescue animals in their forever homes in 2019!
“I made the decision to join the Quest in 2019 to meet some lovely new people, and learn more about the beautiful city we call home. It’s been a treasure to meet my fellow entrants, and it’s great to say I’ve already made some new friends!
“My absolute favourite part of the whole country music festival, is meeting the travellers the wonderful festival brings in. I love learning others’ stories, finding out where they came from, who their favourite country music singer is and what else attracts them to Tamworth.
“It’s been incredible to meet so many country music lovers during the festival each year, and I can’t wait to meet more this year!”
