This is our eight-year to run this successful event and as usual we are looking for bakers to donate cakes, buns and other pieces of confectionery for the occasion.
The donated cakes, buns and other delightful pieces of confectionery can be left into Jennifer Irwin’s house at Grattan Street (Tel No.: 087 9020536) or early on Friday morning, September 15, at the Marquee on Top of the Rock, where the lovely hostesses will be only too glad to assist with your donated confectionery.
So come along folks to Ballymote on Friday morning September 15, listen to the music and support your local Hospice by having a nice cuppa tea or coffee and indulging in some of the confectionery items on sale. Hope we will see you on the day.
