Bree Harvest Festival – An Outstanding Success! A big Thank
You to the entire parish for your wonderful support of the recent Harvest
Festival. The wide range of events enjoyed a
large attendance throughout the weekend and the strong sense of goodwill towards the
Festival and the enjoyment of the various activities was clearly evident throughout the
whole weekend. It really was a tremendous occasion for the whole area, and shows what can
be achieved when the entire community joins together and fully supports an idea. In addition to being a social success, the Festival
was also very much a financial success. The weekend activities raised approximately
€10,000 for Bree Community Centre, while the fantastic “Dancers and
Chancers” night also raised much needed funds for the various participating
organisations from the parish, with an incredible €12,668 in sponsorship raised in
this most enjoyable event. The wonderful Flower Festival at Clonmore Church was also very
successful, raising just over €4000, while the Hope Centre Enniscorthy benefited
through a number of events to the tune of €450. So
well done to all – to the Committee who worked over many months to organise the
weekend, to the dozens of volunteers and participants who worked tirelessly to put the
Festival together, to the hundreds of people from near and far who so strongly supported
the various activities, and to our many generous and enthusiastic sponsors without whose
support the Festival would not have been such a success - – Go Raibh Míle Maith
Agaibh Go Léir! Here’s looking
forward to next year………………!
