by LEAH RING Cloyne Christmas Fay-
re will be held on Sunday, 11 December from 2pm - 4.40pm at the Scout Hall. The event will be held
by Cloyne District Com- munity Council who have invited the community to get involved and celebrate the Christmas season. Emily Peneau, Cloyne Community
District
Council PRO said: “This is the fourth year of the event and it is a nice family event. It is a way of giving back to the community and it is great to see the whole community gather for one day.” The community have
been holding the Christ- mas Fayre for the past three
years, since the
opening of the local play- ground. Prior to the 2013 the
group held an annual Au- tumn Fayre for the Cloyne area in late October. This year’s fayre
will
include local stalls, mulled wine for the adults, home baking, a raffle and music, along with games and ac- tivities for the children. Local
stalls include;
Cloyne Upcycled with Colman Ryan, Commu- nity Cats Network, For- ever
Living with Maria
O’Brien, Inanna Reflexol- ogy and Juice Plus+ with Louise McGuinness. Tommy
Chairman of the Cloyne District
Community
Council said: “Last year we had around 150 or 160 children. It was a great

the Christmas lights in the village as the community sing carols will close the evening’s events The group are currently looking for bakers to get involved and donate to the community day. Mrs Peneau said: “We
are still looking for some bakers. If you would like to donate something please drop it to the hall between 12pm and 2pm on the morning.” To enquire about the

by the public from 11am- 4pm. Admission to the market was free, as was the price to hold a stall for the day. “It went
very well.
We’d 35 exhibitors there on the day,” said John Cashman, member of the organising commit-
eastcorkjournal
tee. “They all reported a positive response to their stalls. It seems businesses was pretty good. We’d a steady footfall of people on the day. We’d signs on the road too, so I think that attracted passers-by as well. There was hun- dreds throughout the day.
• Mary Kelly, Dina Donovan and Kay Wallis.
There was a fair footfall of people in the hall at all times, with people com- ing and going. There was a very good crowd there.” It’s hoped and expect-
ed that the first Christmas Market at the Ballintotis Community Centre will not be the last. “We’d be
hoping to make it an an- nual event on the calen- dar,” said Mr Cashman, “judging by the reaction we got. It’d be the same time next year, late No- vember, early December. Lots said they’d come back again, and lots of the Exhibitors said they’d
come back again next year.” “We’d like to thank
everybody who turned up on the day,” said Mr Cashman. “We’d like to acknowledge
them and
thank all the stall-hold- ers and everybody who turned up.”
