Gratitude from the Panto

Kerry Parents and Friends Association would like to express their sincere gratitude to The Marian Players, cast and crew, our great audiences and everyone who supported Panto In Rathmore 2023. After the final show, on Patron’s Night, an outstanding cheque for €22,000 was presented to the Association. This large donation is exceptional at present when fundraising is so restricted.

KISKEAM

Kiskeam Events Group had a successful 2022. We held 4 events throughout the year. An Easter Egg hunt, A Darkness into Light walk, Halloween Spooktacular Experience, Santa Experience along with our Christmas Markets.

• The Easter Egg Hunt was held at Kiskeam Forest Walkway and approximately 150 children participated in the hunt.

• The Darkness into Light walk was a meaningful morning for the community to remember all who have been impacted by suicide and self-harm. That morning approximately 100 people walked and planted a flower in remembrance. The planter is situated in the village and is a constant reminder of the event. All funds raised went to Pieta House.

• People travelled from all over for the Halloween Spooktacular Experience. 222 people young and old turned up on the evening.

• Santa Experience was another wonderful event. 175 children visited Santa and Mrs Claus at Santa’s Grotto. The Christmas Markets were added to this year’s event. 19 stalls were there on the day resulting on a magical Christmas experience.

Kiskeam Events Group would like to thank everyone who donated, sponsored and gave their generous time to make each event such a success. This could not have been possible without the fantastic community spirit we have in Kiskeam.

The support we received in 2022 enabled us to donate €300 to the Bumbleance Children’s Ambulance Service.
