“If the dog show isn’t for you, visitors of the human variety can enjoy browsing for bargains at the bric-a-brac stall, while little ones can get stuck into activities including face painting. There will also be raffles, a tombola, and a great selection of delicious refreshments on offer” added Aoife Lee, Fundraiser with GRCC.
Admission on the day is €3 per person, with a family ticket available for €10. Dog show entry fee is €2 per category. For more information on the event log on towww.madra.ie
