Community gears up for day of fun and excitement.

Final plans are being put in place for what promises to be a wonderful day of music, friendship, fundraising and craic on the streets around our town.
Changing the date of the annual parade was seen by some as a strange move but the committee, along with the brilliant people in Explore Carrick-on-Suir and the council have worked together to host a day that hopefully will live long in the memories of all who attend.
Entries through the QR code for the parade have come in quick and fast and the final touches on the festival aspect of the day are being ironed out.
A wonderful special “Strongman Competition” is being run by AJ Cronin in the festival area of the Town Hall Carpark and all proceeds from the event will go to Special Olympics Ireland.
Lar Corbett’s hurling wall will be in situ in the carpark also for all the aspiring young and not so young hurling enthusiasts to show off their skills.
The organisers are urging as many as possible to come along on the day and witness just what our brilliant town has to offer.
