DEAR SANTa
Have you got a
little someone who would like to receive a personal letter from the man in red
himself this December? Una Bhan Craft
Shop has established a direct line to Santa Claus and has arranged for him to
reply to children's letters. Your child can write their letter to Santa and
post it in the ‘Special Santa Box’ in the Una Bhan Craft Shop, €5 per child (to
cover admin charges - no stamp required!), then leave the rest to us. Make sure your child includes their full
name, address, age and special requests for Christmas and include a mention of
any brothers, sisters or special friends so the reply can be really personal.
We will make sure that Santa gets to read each letter and write a personal
letter back, which will be posted directly to the child. Santa’s Letter Service
will run up until Friday 17th December.

Canicross
Championships in Boyle
The second race
of the Canicross Ireland National and Provincial Championships 2016/2017 will
take place this year in Lough Key Forest Park on Sunday the 18th December. Canicross
is the sport of running off-road with your dog. The human participant wears a
waist belt which attaches via a 2-metre bungee line to a padded dog harness. As
the Lough Key event is taking place the week before Christmas, the organisers
have decided it will be a Santa Run. Spot prizes will be given for best
dressed!
Remember, you
have to dress up for the event, preferably as Santa as it is a Santa Run!
Dogs can be
dressed up so long as they’re comfortable with what they’re wearing and they
will not be allowed to wear their outfit when competing!
