The official launch of our fundraising campaign was at Tynwald Fair. The weather defied all forecasts and was gloriously sunny.
We had a 'reading' gazebo with books, a teepee, a giant bean bag, a couple of comfy armchairs, lots of kids' chairs and teddies. Oh, and Dolly, of course! We had a constant stream of visitors all day playing in our unofficial creche, interested in helping to bring the Imagination Library to the island and, on one occasion, trying to buy Dolly! 😀
Ange and Trish were interviewed for Manx Radio by the very lovely Siobhán Fletcher, who did her best to make us feel at ease. It was lovely to see the donations dropping throughout the day as the cause obvious resonated with people.
