The above group are so grateful for the helping hand given to them at Stony Cove by visiting members of the Amish Community from the United States. Over the last while we've been clearing this area of weeds and overgrowth from the steps down to the cove, in preparation for replanting. We couldn't have asked for a more harder-working crew to help us get started. Our local Amish community have always been sterling supporters of Tidy Towns, and we are deeply grateful for their continued friendship. A special thank you to committee member Peppy Neville and Anthony Miller of the Amish Community for coordinating it for us.
The Tidy Towns will hold a Table Quiz in The Spinnaker Bar this Thursday at 7.30pm and a raffle will also be held on the night. Further details on Dunmore East Tidy Towns Facebook page.
