A CHARITY event brought colour and noise to The Mall on Saturday as Paco Tralee hosted a coffee morning/fashion show in aid of the Kerry Hospice Foundation.

Store manager Eileen Whelan chose the charity as the Palliative Care Unit at UHK provided wonderful care for her brother Edmond prior to his passing in July.

A DJ provided the soundtrack for the event which saw a number of familiar faces take to the pavement outside the fashion outlet.

Models included Miss Kerry Kelsey Moore, Garda Mary Gardiner, Grace O’Donnell, Anne O’Donnell, Marian Fitzgerald, Miriam Moriarty Owens, Breeda Hurley, Carole Dooley from Paco and Mayor of Tralee Angie Baily.

Brendan O’Brien, Paddy Kevane and Cllr Sam Locke also strutted their stuff in clothes from Celsius.

There was a good crowd too watching on and many gave generously through a raffle for great spot prizes and donations in the buckets.

Eileen Whelan wished to thank everyone involved in helping her organise the event, including Margaret Kissane from the Lakeside Cafe who provided the tasty treats, the models, all the businesses who donated the spot prizes and her friends and family for their support. Scroll down for photos…
