Wet XMas in Cobh
Also taking place at the Commodore Hotel during the afternoon was the Artykids – Free Children’s Christmas Art Workshop where the children were entertained and supervised whilst taking part in all types of things related to creative art. Guest Choirs and Musicians were also on hand to entertain for the afternoon, however due to the terrible weather conditions all musical related aspects of the afternoon had to be moved to the Heritage Centre. Well, all but one……and as per normal the Cobh Confraternity Band braved the intense conditions and played away outside the GPO. (Pic below)
5.00pm wasn’t long coming and what should realy have been the event of the afternoon, the switching on of the XMas tree lights, was also overshadowed by the bad weather. Nonetheless, in typical Cobh spirit this went ahead at 5.00pm on the dot with Mayor Whitty and Cobh Chamber’s Michael Martin on hand to do the honours.
