As the Fox said when he had his tail cut: ‘It won’t be long now.’
There it is. Castleisland Community Centre looking its best and in a state of readiness for the rapidly approaching Castleisland Business & Community Expo.
There is a palpable sense of community spirit as people help each other out in erecting stands, drawing in boxes of this and bags of that as this evening’s 5.15pm opening time approaches.
Twice today already I’ve seen the biggest rainbows I’ve ever had the privilege of being that close to – and I hadn’t a drop of drink since the night of the fair.
Another Great Night
It looks like being another great night and the stands are big and impressive and Castleisland is coming out to show itself off.
If you think you’ve no business being there, think again. The people with businesses there will need you to taste their wares and provide feedback. It’s a community thing and there will be lots of entertainment. So do get down there between opening time of 5.15pm and 8.45pm. You’ll be glad you did.
