As the Killarney Looking Good Competition adjudicators continue to observe the huge effort that has been made in the town, on the streets, along the laneways, by individual business and by private residents to determine who will be honoured this year, the effort to secure the overall national Tidy Towns award continues at pace with two further volunteer gatherings planned for this Monday night.
The litter picking group will meet at the High Street car park at 6.00pm and the gardening crew will meet at the Killarney Art, Antiques and Collectables store at Lissivigeen at the same time.
Everybody is welcome to lend a hand, a warm reception is assured and all materials required will be provided.
Meanwhile, the Killarney Looking Good Competition is now reaching a key stage with the judges making their final decisions before deciding on the award recipients in the various categories.
In the business community, there will be awards for the best large and small commercial premises, best newly painted premises, best signage and the best retail award with prizes also for the most impressive hotel, public house, restaurant, café, guesthouse and best public building as well as the most improved premises.
In the residential categories, awards will go to the best large and small estates, best private residence, best roadside garden, best floral display and best friendly planting award.
Other categories include a green hospitality award, a corporate special responsibility award, a restoration award, best school and a special biodiversity award.
Several highly commended awards will also be up for grabs and the winner of the prestigious overall award will be announced at the prizegiving ceremony.
