Ballynure Community Festival, Tug O War
Competition. The Ballad Inn entered their A team of staff and punters. This
year managing to win the local competition, the cup is displayed proudly behind
the bar for all to see. Pictured receiving the trophy from the newly appointed
mayor of Newtownabbey, great family evening held at the village Church of
Ireland. Great to see the whole village pulling together with Jackson
Butchers, the Ballad Inn, and the garage all donating produce for the villagers.
