Christmas Fair in Tubbercurry is a roaring success!
THANK you to everyone who contributed in any way to the success of our Community Christmas Fair held in St Brigid’s Hall, Tubbercurry on Saturday afternoon last. This was a joint fundraiser for Sligo Cancer Support Centre, Tubbercurry & St Brigid’s Hall.
A special Thank You to our two very special guests Santa and Mrs Claus for taking time out of their very hectic schedule to spend the afternoon with us in St Brigid’s Hall where Santa’s elves had set up a welcoming, cosy grotto especially for their annual visit; thank you to the musicians Oisin McCann & the Urquhart family for their festive musical entertainment, to all our helpers and volunteers on the day including our own St Brigid’s Hall committee members; to Hall
Caretaker Seamie Brennan for all his help; to Mary Jones and her team of volunteers from the Sligo Cancer Support Centre in Tubbercurry for running the raffle and cake stall and to all our bakers for their fabulous home baking; to all those who donated raffle prizes; to each and every one of our craftspeople & stall holders for the festive colour, magic and talent they brought to St Brigid’s Hall with their beautiful handcrafted items for sale. Last but not least to everyone who came along to enjoy the atmosphere and lend their support. We’re already looking forward to 2024 and the next Community Christmas Fair in St Brigid’s Hall!
