The issue of housing was highlighted in the parade in 2022
Parade to commence following morning Mass in St Brigid's church in Mountbolus
Plans are underway for the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Mountbolus. The Grand Marshall has been named. The categories for entries are defined. The time is set. Now is the time to make your plans to be there.
Leading the parade as Grand Marshall is long-time community activist on the Killoughey Community Centre Committee, Killoughey IFA, baker of Brownies for Coffee Mornings and other occasions, and of course Badminton coach for three generations of families, Judy Bryant.
Categories in which prizes will be awarded for entries are Best School Presentation, Best Group Display, Fancy Dress, Vintage Vehicle, Featuring the Environment, Most Original, Most Historic, and Most Exceptional. The Over-all winner will be selected from the winner of the 8 categories.
If you want to get into the action with Current Events, your entry could be considered Exceptional, Environmental, or of course, Historic, because what is current today is history tomorrow.
The Mountbolus Parade is scheduled to start at 11.00. Parade entries are to begin assembling outside Newton’s at the top of the hill coming into Mountbolus at 10.00. All entries from schools, clubs, community organisations, and individual families and groups of friends are welcome, so put on your thinking caps and start planning. The community working together can make this the best Mountbolus parade ever.
Hot drinks and snacks will be available in Killoughey Community Centre following Mass in Mountbolus and the beginning of the parade. Refreshments and Hot Dinners will be served in the Beehive following the parade and throughout the afternoon.
The committee are looking forward to seeing all the entries. Good luck to everyone with their exhibits.
The committee extends an invitation to all of Killoughey and surrounds, if you are not in the parade, come and support those that are, and have an enjoyable morning.
Help make the morning more enjoyable, if you have a Child of Prague statue, put it in the garden. Dry weather will make the parade all the more enjoyable.
