Santa and Dancing Tommy helped launch the St Finbarr’s Primary School 25th Annual Christmas Fair yesterday in the school hall.

The students, teachers and parents were treated to sneak peak of what’s to come at the fair.

Principal John Wilson played the fair song he wrote with the aid of his guitar and the students.

In a surprise appearance, ‘Dancing Tommy’ Franklin jumped out of a giant Christmas present and turned the event into a dancing frenzy.

Denise Woolsey (aka Miss Holly) said, ‘there will be something for everybody and it is jammed packed with events, music, rides, sideshows, amazing food and a live auction with fabulous items on offer’.

Amusement passes and more information can be obtained from St Finbarr’s Primary School.

The fair will be on Saturday December 7  from 10am until 3pm
