Happy Anniversary
Monday night at
Ballykealey Manor hotel is where half of Carlow meet for some good
old fashioned and Irish dancing.
Last night, 25/8/08, it was the centre of intrigue and prestidigitation.
The ever popular
barman Mick Lacey, probably the best Carlsberg barman in the county
,
was celebrating, with his wife Mary, their 40th wedding anniversary.
But how do you get two reluctant people on the stage together?
This is where léger de main came into play.
Mick was asked to
draw the raffle tickets out of the hat and Mary had the
winning ticket surreptitiously planted on her. So BINGO .....!!
Surprise surprize
The manager of deception, Ian Farrell
.....with Angela Aughney - wedding coordinator
......and Maria Breen, co conspirator
Congratulations and many happy returns Mick and Mary
