As 10am fast approached, the finishing touches were being put in place; the chocolate fountain was gushing, the cooks were cooking and helpers were helping at the stalls. The face painters were ready with some fabulous colours and the crafts were waiting for the glitter and glue. Santa was on his way and would be arriving in plenty of time to get settled in his comfy chair, all that was needed was for the doors to open...
WOW what can I say, people arrived and kept arriving throughout the morning and into the afternoon. They queued for tickets for the tombola stalls, they queued for soup and a hot dog, they even queued for Santa! They made Christmas cards, pop up Santa's and so much more.
They went from plain and very well behaved patient children to Beautiful Butterflies, Disco Queens, Pirates, Tigers and many more amazing creations thanks to our Fantastic Facepainters.
A very big thank you goes out to all those who donated items as without your generosity we would not have been able to hold such as successful event. A huge thank you to those who helped in the preparation beforehand, on the day and especially the cleaning up!
Did I mention is was a successful event......together we have raised in excess of £1500 so far with the raffle prize tickets to be available at the Children's Christmas Shows to be held soon. We will update you with the winning tickets and the final total before Christmas.
