Call for Puck Fair volunteers
Organisers of this weekend’s Puck Fair are looking for volunteers to help assist in the running of Ireland’s oldest festival.
The three day event gets underway in Killorglin at 6am tomorrow morning with the traditional horse fair. Other major events planned include two parades, one on Saturday and second one on Sunday at 5pm both days.
Committee members also need volunteers to help run the fireworks display on Monday night to mark the closing of the festival.
“Car parking will need to be brisk on Saturday morning,” said volunteer coordinator Noreen O’Sullivan. “The two parades are big events and we would need people from around 4pm to 6.30pm both days. If there are people available please let us know, we will always have a job to do at different times in the day, and night, even if it’s for only an hour to cover breaks.”
Volunteers can contact the festival office on 066 9762366 to register their interest.

The Dóchas Drama Group will run a series of short plays at the Muckross Schoolhouse from December 5 to 7.
The group’s annual performance has been switched to the Muckross venue as its traditional base – the ballroom in the Killarney Avenue Hotel is being refurbished.
“If you are fed up with the incessant rain and constant bad news. Do you need a break? Are tired of listening to advice about your Christmas cake recipe? There is a perfect solution,” said the group’s Liz Ryan.
“We will present six short plays and some of the questions you may ask yourself are:
“Why is Jane suddenly so honest?
“What did happen on December 9. Will Tiffany be promoted? Will Mags eventually find love?
“Can lost love be re-kindled? What do grandparents get up to when they’re babysitting?
For answers to these questions and more, come along to Muckross Schoolhouse on December 5, 6 and 7.”
