Strandhill Show ‘ the best ever’

THE Strandhill Show and Craft Fair was “the best ever”, according to Chairman Johnny Kivlehan.

The annual show has been running for 20 years, and this year’s was a huge success.

The weather stayed dry all day Sunday for the event, which was a relief for organisers.

“The weather was kind to us and it was actually the

best ever event. The reports we got back were that it was very enjoyable and well organised so it was a very successful outing,” said Mr. Kivlehan. “The stands, home industries and the dog show were up in entries this year so that was brilliant,” he added. And for all the hard work that went into the organisation of the event, it was worth it.

“It’s great to get the satisfaction afterwards after all the hard work you put into the event.

“We’re cleaning up here afterwards and the rain is just starting so that’s the perfect timing,” Johnny told The Sligo Champion yesterday ( Monday) afternoon.

There was plenty of food, crafts, and entertainment on show on the day.
