AUGHER’S summer festival, the Hooley in the Valley, comes to town from August 7 until August 10 promising to be another wonderful celebration of music and entertainment.

Hooley in the Valley is all part of Augher Summer Festival, hosted in a spacious marquee and grounds near Augher on the Main Ballygawley Road. Music holds centre stage plus there’s ballroom dancing, a funday, bingo and a junior disco all rolled into an exciting package.

The Festival starts on Thursday, August 7, with a primary school age-group disco, followed on Friday night by Augher Summer Festival’s ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.

A fun-filled family day is in store on Saturday afternoon and on Saturday night it’s the turn of Derek Ryan and his band to perform on the main marquee stage.

Bingo follows on Sunday afternoon and Jim Devine and his band will close the hooley on Sunday night.

Pairings for ‘Strictly’ Augher’ were announced at a recent preview night held in Quinn’s Corner, whetting the appetite for what promises to be a memorable occasion in the marquee.

‘Strictly Augher’ contestants have been working extremely hard on the dance floor, all part of a sustained training programme under the expert guidance of choreographer Rachael Cummings and producer Gerry Cunningham.
