Clonegal-Kildavin

PRIDE OF PLACE

The Judging Day took place on Thursday, July 26. The judges arrived at 10 a.m. and were greeted by a very large crowd. The judging took several hours and they were entertained along the way with Irish dancing and music by local children. They were reminded along the route of the history of Clonegal with several people dressed up as key people from history. The day concluded with a barbecue in Huntington Castle.

It was a great day of celebration for the village of Clonegal which was very much enjoyed by a very large number of locals and visitors.

Many thanks to all who helped in any way in making the day a great success. Very special thanks to the Community Section of Carlow County Council; to all the committees/organisations that gathered information and prepared displays for the day. To the National School and both churches, thank you.

Many thanks to all the children who entertained the crowd along the route and in Huntington Castle. Thanks to the actors along the route who brought alive the his- tory of the village. Many thanks to Huntington Castle for the very warm welcome and hospitality that everyone received.
