Events 2014 [A]

Clane St. Patrick’s Day Festival, 2014

We really celebrated our 10th Birthday in style last year.    The Floats were just amazing and the effort put in was terrific.   The weather was also in our favour for the Parade.   Our judges on the day were:   Billy Carey, Sally Purcell, Tommy Doran, Kitty Manzor, Andrea Rubio, Eoghan Corry and Edel Marron.    We were honoured on the day to see our past Grand Marshals – Breda Cribbin (for Sean),  Bernie Plunkett, Damien O’Neill (for Kevin),  Tommy Carew, Del Weld, Ed Kiely and of course our 2014 Grand Marshal Leah Redmond.    
Lord Mayor Des Marron and Leah were driven down the main street in a beautiful Vintage car supplied by Christy Morrin.

An Awards Ceremony took place on Thursday night 20th March 2014 at The Westgrove Hotel, Clane.
