EVENT PARTNERS

BACK TO THE ‘90s

There was more than one Britney Spears in town at Fivemiletown Primary School and Nursery’s recent ‘90s-night fundraiser. The Valley Hotel hosted the event which saw the community relive its youth by stepping out in a range of colourful ‘90s outfits. They danced the night away to help raise money for their local school in order for it to further develop its outdoor learning environment.
