North Kerry was a hive of activity last week as locals came out in their droves to support the annual fundraising coffee mornings that, as always, helped to raise vital funds for the Listowel Hospice foundation and the important services they provide.
Following the trials and tribulations of 2020, one prominent Listowel organisation was only too eager to end the year on a positive note, by spreading some much-needed cheer with the addition of a wonderfully lit giant bauble in the Square. Listowel Business and Community Alliance partnered with Gas Networks Ireland to mount this new addition to the town s Christmas lighting display.
The giant bauble is now on display in a bright symbol of local resilience and hope.
Listowel Business and Community Alliance Marketing Committee member, Cora O Brien discusses the plans, saying: We had worked very hard on a full lighting scheme for Listowel earlier in 2020, however due to Covid we had to postpone those plans until next year. However, we are delighted to have the support of Gas Networks Ireland to help us start our collection of light installations which we will be adding to every year.
