A Last few from The History Festival 2018

Here are just a few more photos I took at the commemoration ceremony to honour the war dead and veterans in Listowel Town Square in May 2018

We should be able to date this photo because it is between the time when there was a wall and railings all round St. John's and modern times when there is no wall.

Once upon a time mass going Catholics used to tie their horse and trap to the railings of St. John's while they attended mass in St Mary's.

Sand Sculpture in Torremolinos

Julie Evans who is a loyal follower of this blog was fascinated by the recent sand art festival in Ballybunion. When she and her husband, Glyn, were on holiday in Spain they saw these marvellous sand sculptures. Beside the sculptures was a locked box chained to a railing for people to put a donation into.

Stylish Eilish is Busy Preparing for Listowel June Bank Holiday Ladies' Day

I met Eilish as she was racing around collecting prizes for her great Best Dressed Ladies event at the June Race Meeting in Listowel.

It promises to be a great day of style and craic and the prizes are amazing. Eilish has a great knack of mobilising everyone behind an event.
