After a lot of preparation for the event and eager anticipation, the
day of the Christmas Fair arrived full of festive fun. This was only the second
year Stapeley has run the event and thankfully the weather was on our side
again as were the excellent numbers of people who came along in support. They all enjoyed the stalls, games, tasty refreshments and the
chance to tell Santa what they would like for Christmas.
To complete the festive mood Claire and Kev from The Cat Radio station provided the music and entertainment broadcasting live from Stapeley promoting the event. Many visitors took the opportunity to look around the Cattery, we hope to re-home many cats and kittens over the coming weeks, which is a massive additional benefit from the day. There was also the exciting draw of the Grand Prize Raffle which many local businesses generously donated many fantastic prizes towards. Please see our facebook page for a list of the Prizes and lucky winners!
All the hard work and
contributions from everyone paid off really well with the total fund raised on
the day amounting to nearly £3000!
This is incredible news and fantastic achievement, without all the
tremendous help the success of this year’s event would not be possible so a
huge thank you everyone. At Stapeley we are determined to make 2014 events even
bigger and better, so we would be delighted for your continued support for all
the animals at the Centre.
