    Lol what a Pappy-Show…no pun intended :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: . Gone are the days when you heard Castle Brice feast everyone headed east for a darn good time. The fair was the highlight of that village feast.

    Looks like only political operatives including John Jno. Finn (Operative in USA) got rewarded. Once again I don’t see the Bouncing Bonnie candidate in the photos. Drigo at center stage again 8) . Could it be because she considers this to feast to be a Catholic feast which she is against or her flame has fizzled? Either way the said Bouncing Bonnie appears to be a non-entity these days. Can I get an Amen!
