First place - Mary Orla Skeffington A super kick off to The Village Market season on the April 8 last, with many fresh food traders selling out and great interest in the range of handmade crafts and art. The earlier and longer opening of 12pm to 3pm was great and will continue for this year on the last Saturday or each month. Our next market on Saturday, April 29 will have lots to offer. Gold medallist Maria provided lively entertained. The relatively new enterprise Coffee to A Tea had an amazing selection beverages, and their delicious lunches come highly recommended. What a hunt it was for the 30 ticket holders to find their Easter Eggs in hiding spots throughout the Village Market. The ice-cream vendor almost got away with one egg that wasn't found, it was rescued in nick of time for the winner. Thank you all for supporting community and family enterprise’s. We were blown away with the creativity, colour, design ideas and effort on show from all of the Mad Hatter’s entries. The judges had a tough job to choose winners and heard some great back stories from participants. Congratulations all. First place- Mary Orla Skeffington, second prize Kate and Emma McSherry and third prize Emma Long and Helen Gleeson. Congratulations to Esther Duggan, Holycross, the winner of the big Easter Hamper.
