Large crowds expected as Longford Variety Group rolls out the red carpet for ‘Who's That Behind the Mask?'
Longford Variety Group has been arguably Longford's chief proponent of community based groups and local charities for much of the last three decades.
During that period, the group has accumulated in excess of €260,000 for a multitude of charitable bodies and schools.
It's a feat the volunteer-run group proudly celebrates with this year's major summer fundraiser. That showcase has been dubbed 'Who's That Behind the Mask?'.
It's an occasion that promises to be an evening like no other as a line-up of surprise celebrity guests and beloved local personalities don elaborate disguises, daring the audience to guess who's behind the mask before each big reveal.
The evening will act as a timely prelude to the group's eagerly awaited annual fundraising spectacular which is set to return in November.
Its corresponding 'This is Me' four night extravaganza saw the group raise a further €10,000 for a number of locally based organisations, the fruits of which were presented to a host of bodies earlier this year.
'This show is all about fun and mystery,' said Charlie Murray, Chair of Longford Variety Group ahead of next month's fundraiser.
'Every ticket sold helps fund vital programmes in our schools and supports the incredible charities that keep Longford communities thriving.'
Who's That Behind the Mask? takes place on Friday, June 28, in the Longford Arms Hotel. Tickets are €15 (+ booking fee) and are available now from Kevin's Dry Cleaners, Dublin Street, Longford, or online via Eventbrite.
