Sincere thanks to everyone who so very generously contributed to last weekend’s church gate collection in Millstreet. Many thanks also to those who stood so loyally for the collections. The amount collected was €1,976.60 which has now been directed to the Irish Cancer Society. (S.R.)
The historic occasion was so very colourful, cheerful, utterly professional and enormously enjoyable. Let’s now view some further images from the wonderfully fitting opening event to some five days of marvellous equestrian sport involving Show Jumping, Dressage in Green Glens and Cross Country/Eventing at the very beautiful Drishane Estate [read more …] “Spectacular Opening of European Pony Championships 2014 at Green Glens”

Dia is mhuire diobh go leir a cairde and welcome to News Report 1228 from Millstreet .Fondest greetings dear listeners and I wish you all the very best on this hazy Tuesday morning, the last one in July.
Sadly we said a fond farewell to our beloved Jugglers at the weekend. From 40 countries they endeared themselves to our entire Community during their stay. They infused an air of fun and wellbeing into us all. They performed their mighty skills in all sorts of places. On top of Clara Mountain. At Commatrush Lake, Kilmeedy Castle, Tubrid Well, to name just a few.
Sean Radley gave tours of the town every day, and there was a big turn out each time. The Sun shone for most of the time and it was lovely to see them in their hundreds, enjoying Millstreet Cuisine, while sitting on the edge of footpaths or walls and having the cupla focail with all around them.
Their behaviour was impeccable, and as I said, the Grand Parade on Saturday surpassed all expectations. A huge crowd lined the streets and they were not disappointed.
The Town looked beautiful following its recent facelift. And the Mini Festival organised by our Development Group added further enjoyment to the weekend.
The Karaoke Idol on Friday night was great fun. As was the Soap Box race on Sunday Afternoon.
The Millstreet Men’s Shed Soapbox Race and Kart Drifting Exhibition was held on the Clara Road on Sunday evening (July 27th) as the final part of the Millstreet Summer Festival. Below are some photos of the racing which were sent to us by Geralding Dennehy.

Well The Week has finally come.
The week when we welcome back the mighty European Juggling Festival after six years. Last time 30 countries came and this time we have ten more. They are made up of people of both genders, all ages and nationalities and they raise the spirits of our Town with their merry ways and spectacular skills. We meet them in the shops and they whizz along the streets on one wheel bikes, some on stilts. It’s like one big Circus.
Let us now observe some of the very colourful activities in the next 70 images recorded on [read more …] “Magic of EJC2014 Continues – Monday 21st July”
