Over £800 raised for John O'Groats playpark at Christmas fayre
A Christmas fayre held at the Seaview Hotel, John O'Groats on Saturday afternoon has raised £803 for the planned new playpark in the village.
The event was the latest fundraiser for the project, with a raffle for a Ninja air fryer proving very popular.
Local primary school pupil Kara Manson, from Freswick, was hailed the "fundraising superstar" after boosting the funds by £45 selling festive headbands she made herself.
A good mix of local stallholders took part in the fayre including local crafts and produce. Yvonne Shearer displayed her Christmas Creations – everything from melted snowmen in bottles, to decorated loo roll and many more quirky festive crafts.
Pleased with how things went, organiser and fundraiser Mairi Anne Cormack said: "If anyone has any fundraising ideas or wants to join up to do something in association with another business, or charity, as a joint effort we are always up for ideas."
The group can be contacted by emailing: jogplaypark@gmail.com
Around £15,000 has been raised in the last year for the proposed John O'Groats playpark with more money due to come in from a recent memorial rugby match.
