Other |
||
| March 12th | ||
| The Blarney Hop | ||
| We are hoping that this event in its second year finds new energy. Last years event was a pretty sad event all the way around. If you remember the Blarney Bash, this is not that event. The event last year was very spread out and poorly organized. Keep in mind we are not referring to the Relay for Life event. The race has been in place for many years. Hopefully this year will find a permanent home in Dublin to get us through to the Irish Festival. |
