Scoil Bhride Fair fun

There was excellent support for the Scoil Bhride NS Christmas Fair, held yesterday in the Parish Centre.

Members of the school choir sang carols and seasonal hymns, and the attraction of Santa Claus was reflected in queues to see him that stretched all the way from his tall chair to the entrance hall.

Every one of his small visitors got a picture of themselves with Santa, courtesy of Pat Mooney from the Scoil Bhride Parents Association.

As well as stuff for their parents to buy for Christmas, there was also face-painting and drawing for the younger visitors.

The funds raised are going towards the installation of a CCTV system for the school.

Which is a rather unhappy sign of these times, the only downside to what was all in all, a highly successful day.
