Following the success and entertainment element of last year’s event, this night is much anticipated by both the local and wider communities.
Renowned choreographer Joe Burkett is putting the dancers through their paces in preparation for the big night. This event takes place on December 7 at 8pm in INEC, Killarney. Tickets are €20 and they are available from the INEC box office.
Lighting: Liam Flynn from Millstreet has outlined a Christmas lighting proposal which would very much enhance the town over the holiday period. The proposal would involve significant expenditure in year one but not quite as costly in year two and the subsequent years. Year one brackets would cost €50, trees are €15 and lights €22 while the installation and removal service would cost €40. The total initial cost would be €120. For those who already have brackets, trees and lights can be supplied for €70. He has agreed to leave prices as last year.
