The grand finale of our 28th Annual Weigh in was on Monday Mar. 25th, when a large number of participants eagerly awaited the announcement of the winners in the different categories. Dr. Pat Casey was kept busy calculating the weight loss of the different participants, while the officers collected sponsorship cards and money. There was a great party atmosphere, as refreshments were served and wonderful music played by our faithful group of musicians, who are a joy to dance to or just to listen to their fine music.

Our Easter ceremonies went very well in our churches at the weekend. They were very well attended.
The polish Community held a Food Blessing ceremony on Saturday afternoon led by Canon John. Many thanks to him and to all who helped to make our Easter ceremonies so Holy and Meaningful. May God reward their efforts.
Outside of religious ceremonies our parish was action packed. Our commemoration Committee held their annual event at the Monument in the Town Square, will the Pipe band leading their parade.
Our Vintage Club hosted their annual event at Mount Leader. But the inclement weather led to a disappointing turn out. The proceeds are going to the Reach Out Cancer Support Group and people are contributing to it regardless.
Here we share a selection of some forty images from the very memorable event which coincided with Daffodil Day 2013. At one point during the BBQ Bertie Buckley was serving what he thought was sugar to Mary and Patsy only to discover that it was salt! Note the reaction in two of the images!

THE Clara News is a magazine Millstreet people made time for more than 30 years. However, just one more issue remains on the formal announcement that it will cease publication.
After 36 great years serving the greater Millstreet area, editor Denis Reardon made the announcement on the February edition that its end is imminent.
During its existence, The Clara News has tied its communities in a remarkable time warp of changing development and modern technology.
The Clara News stood the test, once circulated, a community magazine topped the list. Something everyone saw and no matter how many opinions there were, the weekend of issue wouldn’t be completed without a read of the Clara News.
Over the years, “The Clara News showcased from the workings of community groups and the noted achievements of so many people yet those behind the magazine say its time to say goodbye.
“Some of us have come to the conclusion, that we can no lomger devote the time and the energy to produce The Clara News and we believe our time has come and its time to put away the keyboard, the pen and the stress.
“We’re fine about it, its nice to go while we still can. It was fun while it lasted but for me, after 35 years, its time to go. I’ve enjoyed it,” said editor Denis Reardon.
And from a magazine that found it way to all corners of the globe, Denis commended all associated with the magazine that over the years focused on the life and tmes of Millstreet, Ballydaly, Cullen, Kilcorney and Dromtariffe.
“I want to thank all the people who made the Clara News possible, those who supported it and they are many, too many to mention,” he said.
