The parents of a nine-year-old Cavan girl with a rare skin condition are bringing a fundraising show of rare antique collectables to the Virginia Show Centre this Sunday.
The event is in aid of Debra, the national charity that supports the 300 people in Ireland living with Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB).
Also known as 'Butterfly Skin', the rare, genetic skin condition makes skin so fragile that it blisters at the mildest touch.
Dad and event organiser John Clancy's daughter has Dominant Dystropic EB, but still plays football and goes to gymnastics and swimming.
Highlights on the day in Virginia will include a Triang toy display, the Stick Men, the Vintage Radio Roadshow, Crafts of Ireland and a performance by Kilinkere Comhaltas.
Attendees can explore a Virginia 400 photographic display, which offers a rare insight into Irish life in the early 1900s to 1960s.
The family of the late John Keenan, who was due to be the chairman of the event and was formerly the President of the Irish Vintage Engine and Tractor Association (IVETA), will attend to display his collection.
John says the day offers an opportunity to look back and reminisce.
