Teddy bear Nativity trail enjoyed by MP
Carla Lockhart MP • December 20, 2023
Upper Bann MP Carla Lockhart has congratulated the team behind a Teddy Bear Nativity Trail at Magherally & Annaclone Church, Banbridge.
Speaking after visiting the show with her son Charlie, the DUP MP said:
“This is certainly a new approach to telling the Christmas story, and it was lovely to see so many people in attendance.
I want to congratulate Kathryn Stafford of The Posy Barn for all her endeavours in making this happen. As is always the case with Kathryn, she absolutely poured her heart and soul into this event and I know was ably supported by her husband Paul in ensuring everything went smoothly.
These events are so worthwhile in bringing people together and certainly I hope this can be repeated in the future.”
