Donkey To Be Raffled For RNLI
One of Weston-super-Mare’s decorated donkeys will be raffled off for the RNLI later this year. Horatio, one of the 40 donkeys, has set up home in the town’s museum in Burlington Street.
Horatio was painted by local artist Renee Kilburn and he was sponsored by local businessman Nelson Penfold.
The donkey will stay at the Museum until September when he will be raffled off for the RNLI. Tickets will be available shortly from the Winter Gardens, the Tourist Information Centre, the Museum and the RNLI Shop and Heritage Centre at Anchor Head.
RNLI Lifeboat Press Officer for Weston said:”The RNLI is delighted to be involved with the donkey project. We welcome the work which has been done on rebuilding the Pier as a focus for the people of Weston-super-Mare. We have always had great support from the Grand Pier and the money raised from the raffle will help the work of our volunteers in saving lives at sea”.
