The village of Killea, nestled in the shadow of the famous Devil’s Bit, will once again celebrate the much-loved Killea Fun Day and Margaret O’Sullivan Féile in true old-fashioned style.
The day will be officially opened by the Thomas MacDonagh Pipe Band from Templemore, setting the tone for a colourful afternoon of entertainment for all ages.
A major highlight will be the National Sheaf Pitching Competition for the Rory O’Dwyer Memorial Cup, held in memory of the late Rory O’Dwyer of Currabaha, Borrisoleigh, Thurles; latter a legendary sheaf pitcher and great friend of the organising committee. Competitors from all over Ireland are expected to take part, making this a very special occasion.
There will be music, song and dance throughout the afternoon, including Irish dancing, set dancing, figure dancing and the ever-popular Sean-nós dancing, a traditional style known for its intricate footwork and body movement. Members of Killea Comhaltas and talented musicians, singers and dancers from across Mid Tipperary will help create a lively and welcoming atmosphere.
The fun begins with a tractor run at 12 noon, returning to Killea Sportsfield, followed by a packed programme of more than 30 events from 1:30pm to 5:00pm.
Attractions on the day will include:
Sheaf pitching, sheep racing, dog show, pony rides, stock judging, skittles, darts, horseshoe throwing, pillow fights, penalty taking, face painting, bouncy castles, music, dancing, children’s entertainment and much more.
