St. Patrick’s Parade

It is also an important day for the community to celebrate the festival.In recent years we have found it difficult to get people to put in floats which are essential to ensure the event is successful. We are pleading with you to help in any way to get a float in this year. Without the floats the parade will not be a success.For more info and to enter a float contact Margaret on 087 2023033
