Banteer Macra Field Successful Field Evening

Banteer Macra held their field evening Saturday 31st at Healy’s Bar, Kilcorney. A great day of fun, laughter, and catch ups was had. There was plenty entertainment; “milk the cow” to “face painting”,“super soaker”, “tug of war” and “sheaf throwing” all took place throughout the evening. There was a dog show with a large number of competitors; congratulations to all the winners! Competition was tough in all categories. Not only was there a competition in the dog show, but there were other competitions being carried out throughout the day.

There was a great display of Vintage tractors, Alpacas, and goats. Thank you to Irish Sheaf throwing who travelled down for the Field Evening. Thank you to our volunteers who sat under Super Soaker for the day; well done lads great entertainment. Thanks to Lisa Quinn from Clare Macra who did a live demonstration on butter making. Thank you to Facecook for providing the food on the day.

The day didn’t finish there, Danny Byrne band played late into the night followed by Mark Flynn DJ at Healy’s Bar and a great night was had by all. A perfect finish to a great day.
