Enjoy them while you can.
Like the Harlem Shake, the Ice Bucket Challenge and people dancing to Pharrell Williams’ ‘Happy,’ the Mannequin Challenge will one day soon be a thing of the past.
With that in mind, let’s enjoy them while we can.
This, from Garrett O’Donnell’s Pharmacy in Glenties, County Donegal is superb and it’s also for a very good cause.
But before we get to that, enjoy this…
JOE reader Lisa Gallagher wrote to us and told us how this has been done to get the Christmas lights in Glenties turned on this year.
“We bore Jim McGuinness, Brian Friel, and the Patrick McGill Festival every year,” she says.
“But today, in aid of the Glenties Christmas Lights Appeal, we held our very own Mannequin Challenge in the local Pharmacy, Garrett O’Donnell Pharmacy, on the Main Street.
“The lights simply cannot go out in Glenties! We have a strategy, to gather funds for our lights, you can purchase bulbs in memory of loved ones, so you can “Let your loved one Light Up Glenties” this Christmas.
“In aid of this, we carried out our Mannequin Challenge, and for every customer that took part, Garrett O’Donnell MPSI, is donating €3 to the cause. Which is the cost of each bulb. We gathered up 47 bulbs today alone.
“I know it’s a huge ask, and I understand that you cannot print every single email that comes your way, but do try your very best.
“We love your page, and we just want to be part of the bigger world.”
A bit of flattery will get you everywhere, Lisa. Get the lights on in Glenties!
