Summer BBQ
Dateline: 24 August 2024
Another fantastic Community Summer Event on Saturday, August 24 in Mullens / Rockfield. The atmosphere was terrific and the event is now established in the community as a fun and enjoyable afternoon for all the family. Activities abounded for all ages including egg & spoon and sack races . The ever popular Tug-Of-War again proved very exciting for adults and children alike. The BMW car racing track was also expertly navigated by budding formula one drivers. The smaller children had great fun with the games that were available. The food and treats on offer included burgers, hot dogs, ice pops, soft drinks and coffee.
Highlight of the afternoon was the arrival of Dublin Fire Brigade, the firemen cooling down the children with their water hoses. To cap it all an Aer Lingus plane flew over the field at a very low altitude on it's way to the Aviva Stadium for a fly past of the American College football game, sponsored by Aer Lingus. We will post lots more photos of the event shortly.
