Laragh Christmas Tree Lights Parade- Sat 26th Nov

We were delighted to have had such fantastic support at our table quiz but unfortunately that will not cover all our costs this year. We had to install electrical points to ensure safety this year and we also have insurance and lights replacement and addition to pay for. The expected cost this year is approximately €6000. We would be very grateful if you can give any donation towards this cost by going to https://www.facebook.com/laragh.christmaslights where you will see a link to the GoFundMe page. Or go direct to GoFundMe for Laragh Christmas Lights 2022.

We want to say a huge thanks to everyone who was able to help over the last few weekends. It was a very early start by Denis Kenna Brian Windsor and Barry Byrne to ensure our big tree arrived safely. Then the full crew of volunteers started to put up our trees and lights across our village. It was an extremely busy day. Thanks to Lynham’s Hotel Laragh for providing a much needed breakfast to all the volunteers. We are nearly there and look forward to the lights being turned on the 26th November for everyone to enjoy. What an amazing community.
