Donnybrook at the Warkworth Arena

It happens every year in June (19th, 2010).  It is an occasion not to be missed come rain or come shine.  Warkworth is a happening community supported by caring and dedicated citizens.  I’ll bet you the Warkworth old timers believe it is a Miracle.  Yes, that is MIRACLE .  A sign of what a community can do/become  when they come together.  When you visit the Warkworth Donnybrook (www.warkworth.ca) you will be joining hundreds of caring and dedicated neighbours working together to promote their community in a glorious fun filled celebration.  All monies raised during the Donnybrook, go to finance community activities.

Here is the scene at the Warkworth Fair Grounds. There is a barn chock full of books. I estimate several thousand, racks of clothes of every style and type, antiques like you would not believe, collectibles and stuff you never saw before from yesteryear plus, plus, plus.  Inside the barn, people are filling their black garbage bags cause everything is sold by the bag ($5.00 a full bag).  Simply put, at the Warkworth Donnybrook, everyone feels like a lottery winner.   At most times, there is a line up to get in and a line up to get out but it’s the most fun you have had for ages.  When it is too crowded, stop in at some of the outdoor booths for their speciality items.  You will not go hungry or be bored here for there is glorious food all over town.

Auctioneer and red shirt helpers busy volunteering!

The arena, filled with wonderful articles you have always wanted and needed, opens at 7:00p.m.  Auctioneers (12+) are ready to put the piece you want up for auction. Donnybrook advocates beware, this is the real thing!   Aardvarks to zebra skin rugs and everything in between awaits your considered bid and immediate possession.  Looking for tools?  Need a bed?  How about furniture?  Radio’s, TV, or anything electronic?  Do you need exercise equipment?  The Warkworth Donnybrook celebration is your place to be.  Great fun, great people and a lesson in community.  Here at Loughbreeze Bay B&B we are looking forward to seeing you.
