Having fun at the Scarecrow Festival in Durrow

Have you any old teddy bears that you'd like to donate instead of throwing out?

If so, Durrow Tidy Towns say they can take it save it and send it to a new home while helping them to do their work in the process.

"We are grateful to be able to fundraise through the Durrow Scarecrow Festival for Tidy Towns projects. If any of you or your children's friends children are finished with Teddy Bears - can you please keep the festival for the prizes on your mind?"

They say charity shops don’t take teddies anymore.

"It would be great if anyone has any that they could put in the washing machine and dry over the coming months as the weather gets better. MORE BELOW PICTURE.

"They are always a great and ‘old fashioned’ hit with visitors and a fantastic way to recycle into a circular economy whilst also helping with fundraising for Tidy Towns," said the appeal.

You can direct message them on Facebook or contact 087 9626350 for any queries.

The 2024 edition of the Scarecrow Festival takes place from July 28 to August 5.
