Festival big success

SIR, — I would like to congratulate the Killyleagh Community Association on another hugely successful summer festival last weekend.

It is estimated that in excess of 3,000 people visited the festival held in grounds adjacent to the town’s historic castle and what a terrific day it was.

I attended the festival and cannot praise the community group enough for the time it has invested in Killyleagh since its launch three years ago.

Members of the community group have once again excelled themselves. This was the third festival they have organised and was most certainly the best to date.

Everyone I spoke to at the festival thoroughly enjoyed themselves and were delighted with the wide range of events. The weather was also kind which made it an even better day all round.

Hats off to the organisers. They did the people of Killyleagh and the town proud. The community group continues to go from strength to strength and deserves everyone’s continuing support.

Yours etc,

CLLR BILLY WALKER,

Killyleagh.
