Kilrea Flower Show raises £1,000 for Guide Dogs NI
and live on Freeview channel 276
As part of the Kilrea Fairy Thorn Festival last August, the ladies of Kilrea WI held an exhibition of crafts and memorabilia in aid of Guide Dogs NI. Thanks to the generosity of everyone who attended the event and to those who purchased fireside quizzes, the grand total of £1,000 was raised.
A cheque was handed over recently to Gary Wilson, Community Fundraising Manager of Guide Dogs NI. Any money given to the charity will help to fund a puppy, which costs £54,000 for its training, vet bills and food, right through to retirement.
