Spotted this Facebook post from Caroline Hennessy (Bibliocook) yesterday morning and decided to head up to Kildorrery to check it out.

The
Fair was held in the local schoolhouse with ample parking across the way in the
GAA Grounds. There was a fiver charge for admission and for that you were supplied
with a bowl and a fork/spoon and a wristband that entitled you to get into the
main room and eat all you could get.
The
place was packed with most of the punters willing to try out the exotic as well
as the local food on offer. By the time, my round was finished, I was delighted
to see a cup of tea (or coffee) on offer in an adjacent room and I enjoyed that
very much along with a bun (all for just two euro).
Hard
to take pics in such a crowded situation but managed a few.

So sorry that I missed you there, Billy - never even made it into the cup-of-tea room, too much food to negotiate beforehand! Delighted that you made it along. The lads that put it together always do a great job and I love the fact that it's a real family and community food festival. Roll on 2014!
