Fantastic Easter fun in Furnace

Furnace village was packed with people in a celebratory mood as residents and visitors came together to enjoy the second Furnace Easter Eggstravaganza.

 

Business was brisk on Easter Sunday, April 17, at a wide variety of stalls, including those of local crafters - Jules Mather's unusual and delightful pottery and delicious tablet from She Makes, She Bakes.

 

A huge raffle meant that many folk among the crowds left with a big smile and goodie-laden bag, while the egg painting competition kept the youngsters busy. The winning egg was painted by seven-year-old Kacey Cranston from Ardrishaig.

 

There was coffee and cake a-plenty and the sun shone from beginning to end.

 

The event raised over £800 towards the upkeep of Furnace Village Hall and an eggs-tremely good time was had by all.
