![Superb period costumes were the order of the day at the wonderfully successful Coachford Autumn 2013 Festival over the weekend. Here we feature part one of our coverage where we highlight the High Nelly Bike Run and meet with Dog Show entries as well as experiencing the marvellous world of steam engines. Lots more Festival coverage later. (S.R.)](http://www.millstreet.ie/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/20Coachford-Autumn-2013-Festival-Part-One-800-600x399.jpg)
Great credit is due to people like Mr. O’Riordan of O’Riordan’s Bar, Coachford (pictured above) and a splendidly dedicated Committee for organising such a successful annual event for such excellent causes. We now share a variety of images from this most enjoyable occasion.
