Fred Kilmartin Ltd will hold a free family open day at its Ford showroom in Ballinasloe this Sunday.
The festive family fun day will offer a range of activities catering for all ages including a Christmas cooking demonstration by Andy Ryan, executive head chef at the Carlton Shearwater Hotel, carol singing, face painting, and a special visit from Santa’s helpers. There will be a mobility centre with a wheelchair accessible vehicle on view and a prevention and safety talk by An Garda Síochána. The event will take place from 2pm to 5.30pm.
Visitors will also be in with a chance to win a number of prizes including free petrol vouchers with draws taking place throughout the day. Fred Kilmartin Ltd will issue a voucher to all who attend on the day for a free winter check on their vehicle. There will also be some winter warmers served, with mulled wine and refreshments for all who attend.
For the discerning motorist the full 2011 Ford Passenger range and commercial vehicles including the new Ford C-Max and the new Mondeo will be on display, and the Fred Kilmartin team will be on hand to escort people around the showroom show off the latest in new car technology.
“We hope our family fun day will give families a fun day out,” said Noel Kilmartin of Fred Kilmartin Ltd. “There will be something for everyone, from getting valuable tips on cooking the perfect Christmas dinner, to carol signing, face painting, and a chance to win a number of magnificent prizes.
“In addition, for the motorist who might be thinking of buying a 2011 Ford model, we will have the new Ford range on display for visitors to see and test drive. All are welcome to our showrooms on December 5 and it’ll give everyone the opportunity to enjoy some Christmas festivities in Ballinasloe.”
