River Festival: Lots to enjoy

After a number of out of town exposures lately, Kilcullen Art Group is rebranding to Art Society Kilcullen (ASK). Check out their stand today, and maybe sign up for membership and discover talent you didn't know you had? They're a really encouraging bunch.

Have your picture taken with the Heineken Cup and signed Leinster Jersey to help Ollie's Little Heart Appeal (see link below) and donate what you can. And maybe sign up for the Sponsored Cycle for 13 October from Crumlin to Kilcullen 50k and 100k options.

Not to be missed is the Kilcullen Lions Club annual Duck Race at around 3.45pm. The last of the quackers will be on sale right up to about 3 o'clock, or when the final one is sold, whichever comes first. Lions funds are used in community projects all over Kilcullen, so please support the race.



Meet the turkeys at the official opening of the Kilcullen Farm & Nature Trail at Bridge Camphill at 2.30pm. Entrance just across from the Credit Union, where there'll be lots of home-cooked goodies and prizes to be won for Imelda May hairstyles!

Jane Russell sausages will be sizzling in the Taste of Kilcullen area, and Armelle's Kitchen is promising lots of crepes and macarons.

Make-A-Face has really superb artistry in face painting; Ollie's Little Heart Appeal is running a Cake Sale towards funds for a new Cardiac Unit in Crumlin Childrens Hospital; and there's an U/15s Karaoke Competition starting at 1pm, courtesy of Culchie Karaoke Brothers. More later.

More from the Day.
