Although a fading memory it remains as a source of joy
Mick Casey owned the Maple Ballroom when i was a young boy
As the first Ballroom in Millstreet Town it became known far and wide
Far beyond the borders of the Duhallow countryside

As a master builder of new homes he became widely known
The seeds of things of beauty in his brilliant mind was sown

Here we share the marvellous photos of Teacher Joanna O’Connor which allow us to view the Monday morning welcome as well as the actual Friday night event in Tralee where Daithí Ó Sé was the excellent Presenter on the night. The late Teresa Tangney of Main Street, Millstreet and a native of North Kerry who was such a supremely wonderful member of our Teaching Staff in Presentation N.S. until she retired twelve years ago and who has sadly just very recently passed to her Eternal Reward (R.I.P.) would have been so thrilled with this historic occasion when two Kerry Flags and Kerry Balloons adorned the entrance to our school and the “Rose of Tralee” was sung by All with such great enthusiasm for Mary. We now share a selection of Joanna’s much appreciated pictures. Click on the images to enlarge. (S.R.)
We shall feature some further pictures later in the week following our visit to the School on Monday but now we continue to share Joanna’s splendid [read more …] “Royal Millstreet Welcome for Kerry Rose 2014 Mary Hickey”
