Special parade for hospital and nursing home residents

Determined to spread the goodwill as far as possible for the season that’s in it, the Christmas in Killarney committee organised a very special treat for the residents of St Columbanus Home at Killarney Community Hospital on Tuesday night.
In addition to the weekly magic parades, which have added real sparkle to the streets on Saturday nights during December, a very special extra parade slowly wound its ways along the grounds of St Columbanus Home, much to the delight of everybody present.
Residents, unable to make it to the town centre to see the weekly spectacular parades, watched from the warmth and comfort of their rooms as the fabulous floats passed by and the biggest waves and smiles of the night were reserved for Santa Claus himself who was delighted to return the compliment.
The parade also visited Kerry Cheshire on St Margaret’s Road, the Mowlam Healthcare facility on Rock Road and Killarney Community Hospital.
The Killarney Valley Classic and Vintage Club also took part in the parade in their seasonally decorated tractors.
Killarney Chamber of Tourism and Commerce, organisers of the annual festival with the support of Kerry County Council, said the team behind the Christmas in Killarney was delighted to organise a very special Christmas parade for the residents for the second year running.
“Christmas in Killarney is about sharing the joy and the spirit of the season with the whole community,” the Chamber said.
