St. Patrick’s Day Parade:
On Tuesday afternoon last, the 14th Annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade took place in the town. On a cold, dull afternoon, the crowds thronged Main Street to watch the Parade. Before the Parade, members of the Bailieborough School of Music entertained the large crowd present from the viewing stand. Although the Parade was smaller than other years, it proved to be an enjoyable event for young and old. Mr. Russell Waller—MC for the event—kept the attendance amused and informed about the various participants in the Parade. Two marching bands took part in the parade—the Corduff Pipe Band and St. Mary’s Brass and Reed Band, Kingscourt. Local sporting clubs, organisations and charities were well represented. There were also Fire eaters, stilt walkers, Super Hero’s and community groups along with vintage cars, tractors, etc… Prizewinners on the day were, Youth Achievement Award went to the East Cavan Gaels Hurling Club, the Best Overall Float went to ‘Roberto’s Chipper’ and the Best Dressed Shop Window went to ‘Black’s Butchers’. The committee would like to thank all who helped out in any way to help make this year’s parade a successful one.
