After a  very shaky start to St Patrick’s Day celebrations in Tipperary (It was on, it wasn’t, then it was) we are very happy to announce for the first time EVER we won a prize in the parade.  We won the most original idea category.  As this is the year of the dragon in China and they recently visited our shores we decided to honour that and create our very own dragon.  A huge thanks to Trisha Turifi who worked really hard with ALL the kids to create this amazing creature.  Thanks a million to all the kids who came along on the day to march through the town under the dragon.  Thanks loads to all the stayawakeathoners who worked through the night putting the finishing touches.  We had so much fun we’ll be back next year bigger and better!!
