YEE-HAW! The countdown is on and tickets are selling fast for the much-anticipated Stetsons & Stilettos event which will be staged in Killarney in coming weeks.

The toe-tapping night out, which will unfold in the INEC on Friday, September 23, at 7.30pm, is the brainchild of Killarney Celtic soccer club in association with the INEC and friends of Amy O’Connor. They are delighted to present “The Ultimate Garth Brooks Experience” Friends in Low Places featuring Trevor Smith in concert to raise funds in support of Amy O’Connor and St John’s Ward CMRF Crumlin.

Amy is a young member of the soccer club who is battling illness and those behind the event wanted to give something back to the excellent staff in Crumlin and to support Amy and her parents who will have many expenses to bear in the months ahead.

Trevor Smith, the top Garth Brooks tribute artist brings his ‘Friends in Low Places’ act to Killarney for one night only. Also featured will be appearances by local artists and will include “Amy’s Hoe Down”.

As for the dress code? Yup, you guessed it, the eponymous Stetsons and stilettos will be de rigueur on the night and proceeds of the event will go to support Amy O’Connor and St John’s Ward in Crumlin Children’s Hospital.

On the night Stetsons will be on sale, while prizes for the best-dressed country guy, gal and child are up for grabs with an exciting raffle also in the offing.

Angie Kissane of the Killarney Celtic organising committee said: “Everyone in the club is really looking forward to the event we are expecting a great night out. “We are extremely grateful to our colleagues and friends in the Killarney Fire Service, Killarney Valley Athletic Club, Dr Crokes GAA Club, An Post, Whitebridge Manor Residents Association, Gaelscoil Faithleann Parents Council, and Fiona O’ Connor of the INEC Killarney for their support and help in promoting this event.”
