SUNDAY proved a fantastic opening day of the Listowel Harvest Racing Festival with a sizeable mix of locals and visitors invading ‘the island’.
It was also the premiere of the much anticipated Lyrath Estate Hotel Best Dressed Couple Competition — judged by Radio Kerry’s Elaine Kinsella — which was won by Jacy Ybanez from Tralee and Brian O’Connor of Abbeyfeale.
Sunday was also family day with Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Giggles Entertainment with a free disco, face painting and balloons and the free Wooly Farm with chicks, guinea pigs, hens, ducks, rabbits, lambs, piglets and pygmy goats, plus Roo the Llama.
