Phew what a scorcher! Here in sunny Dungannon, we have had a hectic week of activity.....
On Monday 12th Council hosted a breastfeeding awareness day here in Council offices - local charity Uplift facilitated a very informative session on all the healthy reasons why breastfeeding is best.
On Wednesday our tourism representatives from Flavour of TYrone visited the Balmoral Show where they managed to convince TV chef Jenny Bristow to try her hand at cutting some Tyrone Crystal glass (see picture). Jenny also tasted some of the fine food taken from receipes in the latest edition of the Little Black Recipe Book. Entitled 'Tops and Tails', the book features a range of mouthwatering starters and desserts from Good Food Circle restaurants in Tyrone and Donegal.
Wednesday also saw a Council meeting with a difference, when St Patrick's Primary School Dungannon took over the Council chamber and told us just exactly how they would run local government. Led by their 'Mayor' Peter Dolan, the Primary 7 class certainly knew what they wanted and weren't afraid to air their views - most definitely the leaders of the future!
It was off to Dungannon Park on Thursday when country favourites Robert Mizzell, John McNicholl and Justin McGurk helped the Mayor launch a Guinness Book of Records attempt at the world's largest line dancing display. The challenge will take place when the UTV Countryfest comes to Dungannon on 2nd and 3rd August - tickets are now available locally at Dungannon Leisure Centre and all Ticketmaster outlets. Hospitality providers in town are taking calls from all Europe, so dont miss out on a great family day out this summer and remember, children under 12 go free.
Local Féis winners joined our Irish Language Development Officer and Mayor Barry Monteith on Thursday when they were honoured at a Council reception.
And on Friday, our Marketing team attended the Tri County Soccer 7s tournament in Cookstown where they promoted the large range of children's events arranged by Council this summer.
Have a great weekend everyone!
