And so, as the dust settles on another festival, we want to take this opportunity to thank all those who attended each night.
Once again, the event was supported by a host of volunteers, including stewards, bar staff, administration, volunteer catering and site setup, to name but a few.
To our neighbours, residents, and landowners, we thank you for your continued support and flexibility.
Sponsorship plays a vital role each year, and Mulleady Properties & Co Ltd., as the ongoing main sponsors, have provided immense support.
Many other local businesses have pledged sponsorship, as shown in the attached video, for which we are very grateful.
We thank Longford Community Resources CLG, Longford Tourism and Longford County Council for their funding and valuable support provided.
Services provided by An Garda Siochana, Longford CoCo Roads Dept., Longford County Fire Service also led to the smooth running of this year's festival.
The Mill Bar, Drumlish, came on board this year as publican partners, and a word of thanks goes to Caroline, Owen and their team.
Each year, the festival is supported by many local groups, including Drumlish Ballinamuck Women's Shed, who prepared volunteer refreshments and Drumlish Ballinamuck Men's Shed for site work. Also Drumlish Tidy Town for helping with litter control and accommodated advertising signage around the village. We also thank all other areas and groups, including Ballinamuck Enhancement, where signage was erected during this busy Tidy Towns judging season.
St. Helens Ladies GFC once again provided excellent catering services throughout the weekend, which is most appreciated, and recognition also goes to St. Vincent's Minor Club for their assistance with bar stocking and the organisation of the bingo event.
We wish to acknowledge our performing artists, suppliers, contractors and those who provided professional services in order to make the weekend a success.
Also, our club Fr. Manning Gaels GFC, its Executive and Members, for their commitment and support.
Finally, to our dedicated committee members, thanks to each person who brought their individual skills to the organisation of this year's festival.
Until the next time. All the best. 👍🎼🎸
