On the 16th of June, Kinsale Community Playschool held their first ever “Family Fun Day” at Kinsale Rugby Club where they raised a tidy sum of €900.
Families came and supported this good cause and all funds raised went to the non-profit making Playschool.
Great fun was had by all who attended and all those who helped to make the day a success.
There was a bouncy castle, bric-a brac stall, cake stall, bar-b-q, competitions, d.j , face painting and plenty of outdoor entertainment watching the mum’s and dad’s races, children’s races and tug of war. There were plenty of smiles all around for the day so a “Fun Day” it was. This will now, hopefully, be an annual fund raising event for the Kinsale Community Playschool.
