Mushera Platform Dancing

What a wonderful crowd of supporters came to dance the afternoon away in the Open Air Platform in Ballinagree Village last Sunday afternoon to the wonderfull music of The Lee Sound followed by the equally exciting C/M Sound.

The tea tent was laid out with tables and chairs and served teas and coffees sandwiches and cakes before the change over of the bands. People came from the far west of Ballydehob to the north of Scartaglen to the east around Blarney area and all parts in the middle.

Those supporters didnt come by accident, Johnny and Rita and others like Jackie Spillane, Donnacha and Tim Lehane and a few more supporters of car and tractor runs, scriorths, and threshing days always take part in their fundraising activities We have a great community here in Ballinagree who gives support to other communities and they return the compliment
