CHECKOUT ENNISCRONE
We’ve decided to launch a little competition for local children (West Sligo area)
We are asking them to use all their imagination to make a fairy door/house. We’d like you to use materials around you or in your shed like twigs, pebbles, shells, off cuts of wood etc.
We will announce further details at the end of the week but we can guarantee there will be free ice-cream for the winners.
In conjunction with the Enniscrone Community Council we plan to display these in the Castlefield in Enniscrone.
So in the mean time have a look at what you have available to you at the moment and see where your imagination brings you. We are so excited to see what you all come up with.
We wish you all the best of luck, Joe and staff.
