‘Gathering'
Festival'
Well
done and a huge thank you to the committee and helpers for
a fantastic festival. A lot of time and hard work went into
organising a packed programme of events for the 10 days which
included events to suit all age groups. The town came alive
for the 10 days and it was great to see so many visitors in
the area. Huge numbers attended all the events. Well Done
also to Liat Barrett ‘Céide Rose 2013' who did a great
job, attending all the events and taking part in some!!
Congratulations
to the winners of all the competitions.
