The community of Dungloe are launching a unique Christmas lights campaign to make the town’s Main Street dazzle this festive season and many more into the future.
The new lights will be switched on by the 2019 Mary from Dungloe Roisin Maher.
The Children’s Parade committee has taken delivery of almost 2000 bulbs and brackets (Angel Wings) which will light up and criss-cross the Main Street from top to bottom.
In order to pay for the new lights we have embarked on a ONCE OFF ambitious fundraising campaign.
A committee spokesperson said “At the moment we are selling the bulbs around the town and on-line for €5. We have asked the people of Dungloe and surrounding communities to remember someone who is absent this Christmas with a dedicated Christmas bulb to make DUNGLOE GLOW.
“Our volunteers worked tirelessly last year to erect the old lights and they will do so again this year to put up the NEW LIGHTS.
“Moving forward we need your help to make the lights a reality.”
“So we are pleading with you to sponsor an Angel Wings (bracket) which will hold up the lights at points throughout the main street.”
The committee said this is a once of plea for help, in this the first year, as every year after volunteers will erect the lights and no further money will be needed.
The spokesperson added that they will offer YOUR BUSINESS FREE publicity THIS YEAR and EVERY YEAR after that on social media with your business being named as a sponsor throughout the social media spectre, when the Childrens Parade takes place each year.
The spokesperson added “With your help the Dungloe can look forward to a Christmas glow and create an atmosphere our children and future generation of our community will enjoy.
“Whatever amount you can contribute to this worth cause will be most welcome and without your support it would not be possible.”
