By now the leaflets have been handed to the school children and it is hoped that they are working on their art entries and making a list of all of the items that can be entered from their household.Although it is a little later than normal nonetheless it is anticipated that this will not affect the good day of fun and enjoyment that it entails. There will be the art competition for the school children and categories in flowers, home produce, farm produce, baking for adults and the children"s section, along with the photography section followed by the auction of the produce. It is anticipated that each and every household will become involved in some part of the Harvest Fair and come out and meet their neighbours while supporting the Community Centre. The funds from this day go towards the insurance and general upkeep of the Centre.Dates for your DiaryThursday nights Ceilí/Set Dancing Classes 8.30 - 10pmMonday nights the Cards continue in the Community CentreAnnual Harvest Fair and Dog Show on Sunday 5th of October
