Weather gods shine kindly as Ballinamuck Christmas Lights are officially switched on
Children from St Patrick's National school entertain crowd with lovely Christmas Carols
Despite the weather warnings and uncertainty, last Friday night's switching on of the Ballinamuck Christmas lights went brilliantly. The weather was good to us and stayed ok just long enough for us.
We would like to extend a few words of thanks.
A huge thank you to the fantastic crowd of people who joined us, we hope you enjoyed the evening.
Big thank you to Ms Mulligan and the children from St Patrick's National school for entertaining us by singing some lovely Christmas Carols.
You might have noticed some new additions to the lights this year. Some local businesses came together and purchased the new Christmas lights for the lamp poles. They definitely add to the village and the lights overall.
A heartfelt thank you to Ciaran Hourican, Brendan Larkin, Garry McNally, Peter McKenna, Darren Quinn, Enda McKenna, Mark Cunningham, Peter Dillon, Francis McKenna and Ted Gorman. Thank You to Ollie Keogh for putting up the lights for us again this year.
Thank you to all our volunteers that helped out on the night - always willing to lend a hand! Including Garry for his PA system and carrying out MC duties. Much appreciated as always.
Finally, a huge Thank you to anyone who contributed to our fundraising bucket. All funds will go towards the running costs and upkeep of lights!
Wishing you all a very Happy and safe Christmas.
