CHRISTMAS CRAFT FAIR KILMOYLEY NS – On Saturday 5th December Kilmoyley National School will be hosting a Craft Fair, just in time for Christmas! The event will commence at 11am at the Community Care Centre. Festive shoppers will have the perfect opportunity to purchase unique and affordable creative presents sourced from the local arts scene. Artisans and crafters are invited to contact the school to book a stall where they can display their wares. All forms of art and crafts are welcome-home baking, jams, garden plants, woodturning, knitting, pottery, photography, paintings, jewellery, basketwork and candles. It’s a wonderful opportunity for artists and crafters to showcase their produce. JC Scale Model farm toys will have an exhibition on the day, as will Shane Brick Hurley’s Limited; you will have an opportunity to purchase Kilmoyley G.A.A. merchandise-always a very popular Christmas gift. Other stalls already booked will display floral arrangements, jewellery, knitted goods, cheesecakes, cupcakes and specialty cakes. You will be licking your lips at all the choices available to you. Donal Dowling will be present with a selection of charming and delightful photographs of the locality. The Kilmoyley Craft Fair is the one stop shop for all your Christmas goodies-Beautiful Pine scented Christmas Trees and decorated Wreaths will be available, hand crafted sugán chairs, stone sculptures, handmade Greeting Cards for that special occasion, a wide selection of Usborne Books and the aroma of delicious mulled wine to lift your spirits. While the Craft Fair is a fund raising event for Scoil Naomh Eirc, school principal Áine Crowe sees it more as an occasion to celebrate all that is good, wholesome and outstanding in the parish. A warm invitation is extended to one and all. It’s your presence that will make the craft fair memorable and special. There will be a special guest on the day also. Santa Claus will be taking time out of his busy schedule to meet and greet children young and young at heart! Santa is due to arrive in style at 11a.m. So book your stall for 20 euro either by calling to the school or contacting the school on (066) 7133376 (sterc@eircom.net).
