THE party season in Tralee drew to a close on Sunday and Connect Kerry’s annual Ladies Lunch and Fashion Afternoon was a fitting way to see it out.
Around 80 ladies were in attendance at the event in The Ashe Hotel and they enjoyed some Skellig Gin or bubbly on arrival and could browse the fashion, crafts and food stands before going into the main room for a delicious four course luncheon with fine wines.

MC for the afternoon was Mary McCaffrey and there was fashion from local boutiques showcasing the latest styles. Emma Quirke Hair and Romy Birdthistle from Paradise Beauty were on hand to provide many beauty tips and tricks.
In keeping with the tradition of the lunch supporting a local causes/schools, Tralee CBS Primary School will benefit from the raffle. Scroll down for photos…
