Plaza packed for Buncrana Trade Show 17.10.07

THE Plaza in Buncrana was buzzing at the weekend during the local Chamber of Commerce Trade Show. Nearly 2,000 people turned out for the two-day event which included nearly 60 businesses exhibiting their goods, products and services.

The former ballroom including its horseshoe balcony, the main hall and smaller ballroom were bedecked from floor to ceiling with colourful and eye-catching stands while the cafe kept everyone refreshed with teas, coffees and homemade bakes. Buncrana Chamber of Commerce manager Deirdre Bradley said she was delighted with the success
of this year's event, the second only to last year's inaugural fair. She said 30 businesses were so happy with the event they had already booked their stands for next year's show. "We are really pleased with how it all went. The stands were magnificent and the Plaza was the perfect venue - full of character and plenty of space," said Deirdre. She praised the traders who took part and the huge number of visitors who travelled from all over the North West. "It wouldn't happen without the huge effort the traders put into their stands and all the people who come out to support the local business community." The chamber manager said the show would soon become a Donegal-wide event. "We had exhibitors from Newtown, Letterkenny and from as far away as Ballyshannon who were delighted with the show. It will become the Donegal Trade Show before long," she added. More pictures coming soon to the photo gallery.
