The lead story offers a hundred thousand welcomes to Kilcullen's first twinning town, Saint-Contest in Normandy, France, whose representatives will be spending the St Patrick's Weekend with us and signing the Twinning Charter.
In colour features this month there's a look at the history and heritage of Dun Ailinne, the Kilcullen link to the rebuilt St Mel's Cathedral in Longford, and a hello from the cast and crew of the upcoming Kilcullen Drama Group presentation of 'A Wake in the West'.
In addition to news and views from the many and very active areas of Kilcullen life, there are business stories about the new ownership of the Post Office and Nolan's Butchers shift away from plastic bags.
Mary Orford continues her lookback at what used to go on in the Old Courthouse on Main Street, Cliona Kelliher takes us out and about to Derryounce Lake in Portarlington, and Conor Williams muses on how photography is a great way to take you around your local area.
There's a reflection on the passing of Liam Sherry from the Pitch & Putt Club, recalling a man who expended an enormous amount of dedication in developing that club over 30 years, but who was also involved in so many of Kilcullen's other clubs.
In the usual columns, Billy Redmond ponders the Local Elections, Julie Felsbergs (Dunlop) welcomes the Blessings of Spring, and Sean Landers continues his ramblings through Kilcullen's past.
There's sport — including an introduction to the new Sports Editor, Mark Phelan — and schools news, and more, as always. The best €2 you'll spend this month.
