Fancy having afternoon tea alone with just Daniel O’Donnell for company?
Well that’s one of many prizes up for auction in aid of a campaign aimed at the revival of Ballyshannon’s once famous Allingham Arts and Literary Festival.
The auction takes place at Dicey Reillys Bar on September 10th next
And if having a chin-wag with Daniel isn’t your “cup of tea” then perhaps a coaching session with Packie Bonner is your goal.
Both are just one of 50 or so auction items up for grabs.
The auction will co-incide with the launch of an exciting weekend programme of events setting out details of the Arts Festival.
The Auctioneer will be journalist Sean Perry and it promises to be a night of fantastic craic and entertainment with music by Sean Gibbons.
Connor Carney, Festival Chairman, said the organising committee have been overwhelmed by the offers of support and auction items from the local and county wide community.
