AN afternoon of fine food, wines and fashion took place in the Ballyroe Heights Hotel on Sunday afternoon, all for a good cause.
The ‘Connect Kicks Off Christmas’ fashion event was attended by over 100 ladies with proceeds going towards the Kerry Cancer Support Services.
Ladies were greeted on arrival with a champagne reception and free gifts, followed by a lunch and fashion show in the main function room, rounded off with an after party where there were spot prizes and loads of laughs.
There were festive food tips from chef, Mark Doe and there were prizes for best dressed lady which was won by Lisa Martin and two raffles were held. Marian Cantillon won a Don O’Neill wrap, while Helen Barrett won a shopping trip to Cork.
