Eden playground open date revealed next week

An official opening date for Edenderry playground will be revealed next week according to Chairperson of Edenderry Playground Committee Tessie Doyle. Construction at the playground site is progressing well and to target, she added this week. The playground will be officially opened by a child, chosen in a unique raffle. Tickets for this raffle can be purchased in businesses around Edenderry for €1, and will be on sale within the next week. The name of a child aged between three and twelve can then be written on this ticket and placed in provided boxes. When boxes are collected a public draw will take place to choose which child gets the honour of opening the new playground. "On behalf of the Committee, I would like to say thank you to all those who are contributing continuously and so generously," Tessie said. "Also, we would like to especially thank everyone who is giving their time so enthusiastically and energetically to make this project such a great success, Their support and assistance are invaluable."
