Kilkenny Live Local Highlights - New Year’s Day in Castlecomer was a throwback to the good old days, as a record crowd thronged the streets for the 46th annual Wellie Race and Float Parade.
A carnival atmosphere ignited when special guests the Timahoe Male Voice Choir took to the reviewing stand. The warm-up was provided by the excellent Barrett family and friends and soon the square was rocking to the strains of the Laois Choir under the baton of Damien Bowe.
It was apparent from the early increase in registration that the numbers participating in the race would be very healthy. A whopping 674 walkers, trotters and runners braved the 4km Kiltown Circuit.
