The event was a huge success raising a superb total of £22,034.50, considering it was organised within just six weeks.
A voluntary committee within Karro Cookstown organised it, with the aim of “raising community awareness, brand awareness, factory social event, and recruitment”.
A spokesperson said: “All in all it turned out to be a great success, raising money for two good causes and proving very enjoyable for those who attended.”
