Every year, the Blarney City Council organises a fundraising day on the inexperienced within the centre of the village. Tents are place up, volunteers organised, tables and chairs borrowed, signs made, shows put along and favours referred to as in. In our case we have a tendency to were the blow - ins, the newcomers. The committee had determined that a few carnival workshops would boost their festivities (and potentially lead onto additional in the future) and therefore I used to be called and asked to organise it. We duly arrived - all nine folks - with boxes of art supplies and recyclable materials with the intention of making musical instruments and puppets with the youngsters and then having a parade at the top of the day.
Having never been there before we had no plan what to expect or how several people would turn up. On arrival we were shown to our tent, given a variety of tables and chairs and got organised. I was on babysitting duties so myself and my daughter went for a glance around. We ambled through a small market, craft stalls and around bouncy castles, watched various dog show competitions (everything from the waggiest tail to the most effective dressed up), checked out model tractor exhibitions and funny races involving prams, gawped at a ferret during a hole betting competition (this concerned putting a ferret into a large bin with 9 holes cut out around the base. The idea was that you simply bet on that hole the ferret would come out of), a treasure hunt and a rubber duck derby in the native river. It was fantastic.
There was a plethora of folks from the weeny to the traditional, all having a good time, relaxing, eating, sitting, lying down, running around and usually enjoying each day off on a sunny Sunday afternoon. The workshops went extremely well, everybody was busy for the four hours that they had and also the parade was brilliant. Okay, it wasn't a Brazilian or Trinidadian lookalike but that is not important. What was important was that everybody in the parade created one thing and got concerned whereas everybody within the park clapped and smiled and laughed and cheered. All then went home having actively taken part in a very communal celebration; they built bridges between every other and their place, they celebrated their community. And what's additional important than that.
