Pat Towey of Towey’s Spar and Top Oil Station in Ballaghaderreen recently sponsored an event in Kilmovee, wherein pupils from Kilmovee National School were invited to plant hundreds of bulbs and wild flower seeds on the newly-opened loop walk in the village.
Community groups across the country work hard to be inclusive and offer services to the wider area, but they are constantly held back because of funds. And so, when business owner Pat Towey said he would like to help out Kilmovee Community Centre and sponsor this event for the local community group, it was very much appreciated.
“Local businesses like Towey’s Spar supporting local communities like ours is hugely important to us”, explained Trisha Duffy, project manager of Kilmovee Community Centre. “They enable us to offer more services and opportunities, and we are so delighted that Pat Towey and his staff chose to support Kilmovee in this way”.
To mark the occasion, Damien McDonnell from Blue Way Branding designed and produced a charming sign, featuring the signatures of all the pupils who got involved in the planting. This sign will go up on the loop walk entrance. It’s a beautiful sign, which will be there for years to come.
Kilmovee Loop Walk, located adjacent to Kilmovee Community Centre, is 750 metres of tarred footpath with multiple exercise stations, and it is flood-lit at night.
