Ballinamuck proudly rolls out red carpet for arrival of Pride of Place judges in Longford
Ballinamuck hosted the Pride of Place judges for the IPB Co-Operation Ireland Pride of Place competition on Wednesday last, August 28.
It is an all-island competition that acknowledges the work that communities are doing all over the island of Ireland.
The competition focus is about people coming together to shape, change and improve daily lives in their communities.
The competition is based on communities demonstrating directly to the judges their pride in their place by oral presentations where they highlight community activities, culture and many other aspects that contribute to their pride of place.
Ballinamuck were proud to present their work through a presentation that highlighted the village, the area's history, the community, what the community did to Commemorate the 225th Anniversary of the Battle of Ballinamuck and the legacy that has been created.
A video recap of the Commemoration was shown and the judges toured the photographic exhibition of the four day event.
There was an exclusive screening of a teaser for the upcoming documentary, ‘Ballinamuck’, produced by Harp Media.
