Portaferry Gala Blog

No, you don’t ask, you just enjoy the fun atmosphere of The Po Removal.

Congratulations to Dumigans, the 2010 Portaferry Po winners.
Their float “Toy Story” beat off stiff competition to claim the prized Po on float Friday 2010.

We’d like to thanks everyone who attended the Gala 2010 events, we hope you enjoyed them and that we’ll see you all again next year for Gala 2011.

A lovely hot summer (at last) day on the square, this afternoon as over 160 children paraded around in fancy dress. For pictures click here.
(Eh….Lenny….by the way…..it’s Children’s Fancy Dress….)

Gasps and Cheers all evening as the annual Sheaf Pitching took place in the Square, for results, click here.

Hard to believe but, yes, it’s Gala Thursday, so  farewell to Tony and a big “Thank You” to everyone who supported Tots Teatime this week.

If you took part in the Portaferry 10 Mile Race, click here for the placings.

Another packed afternoon in Anne Street as the “Portaferry Flyers” took to the streets. Well done to all those who took part and thanks to the guys from Rampage who were running demonstrations all afternoon. They were so impressed they’ve promised to come back and enter next year themselves !

Wednesday Evening and a packed Square enjoys some great music from Peach.

No, it’s NOT for sale. The town’s dogs turned out in their freshly washed, brushed (and we think polished noses) best this morning for the Pet Show. Thanks as always  to P2 Kennels and Peninsula Veterinary Clinic who sponsor the event, for pictures, click here.

Wow ! The Portaferry 10K really is growing at an amazing rate. A big thanks to everyone who packed the square to spur the runners on, (especially the local ones) and to the PSNI for all their help along the route. With the sun finally shining on the Square a great night of fun was had by all, with the Crazy Hair Do and  Gameshow Marathon also taking place.
