Fair time ahead for the Parish of Tamlaght O’Crilly

TAMLAGHT O’Crilly Parish Vintage Group is set to host the 30th annual Vintage Rally and May Fair again this year on Saturday, May 25 from 12noon.
Proceeds from the Rally and Fair will go towards Church funds and Oesophageal Cancer.
It is hard to believe it has been 30 years since the village of Tamlaght O’Crilly, near Upperlands, held the inaugural Vintage Rally.
The village will welcome music from Raymond Kelly-Big Chief Geronimo formerly from The Indians, and Amber Stewart, the talented nine year old who won Best Newcomer at the NI Country Music Awards recently.
Robbie and Florence from Country Harmony will be performing and proceedings will be led by Yodelling Kenny Archer who is guaranteed to entertain us.
To celebrate the 30th anniversary, some of the highlights from previous years are set to make a comeback - look out for Billy Ray from The Clampits and Johnny and Molly will be up to their antics!
Bernese Mountain Dogs will be on display as well as NI School of Falconry with some magnificent birds.
Kidz Farm will have all sorts of animals for petting and have quad rides for the children. Why not try your skill at the Archery or Airsoft Shooting Range?
There will be the usual kids’ games as well as a bouncy castle and face painting.
Jenny Bristow will be cooking up a storm on a Traveler barbeque, kindly sponsored by Weber, including a barbeque gift hamper sponsored by Camerons in Ballymena.
