ST PATRICK’S DAY PARADE

The Dromahair St Patrick’s Day parade will be held on Saturday, March 17, at 4.30 p.m. Grand Marshal Tony Downey will be leading this year’s parade, and we will be welcoming the Irvine Memorial Pipe Band from Clabby in Co. Fermanagh to the village.

Following the parade, there will be the annual Ball Race, with €800 cash prizes available (€500 first, €200 second, €100 third). There will also be the opportunity to win a fantastic swing set. There will be free face painting on the day, and on Sunday we will be running a car treasure hunt starting at the Blue Devon at 3 p.m.

As always, we require a lot of help to make the day go well. If you have a few hours to spare on Friday evening, or if you’re available to marshal on Saturday, please call Geraint at 086 7783391 or email DromahairParade@Gmail.com. This is always a fantastic family day, so we hope to see as many people from the community as possible.
