Local businesses very kindly donated the raffle prizes. These included Ailsa Black Scottish Artist, Gallie Craig coffee house, Stenaline, Dumfries and Galloway Life Magazine, Lola’s dog grooming, Loch Ryan Leisure, Logan House Gardens, The Waterfront in Portpatrick, Tigh Na Mara, Stir-it coffee house, Zoe Bestel, High Aitken Jewellers, T K Barr dental, The Mochrum Artist, McKenzies in Stranraer, Fidlers in Stranraer, Rickwood House, Loch Ryan dog training, Diane and John Gilmore from East Muntloch, Auld Smiddy and Glen Auchie holidays, Baxters in Stranraer, Jill Ramsey handmade wedding invitations and the Museum of Scottish lighthouses.
