Free filtered Water - Greener INITIATIVE
As part of our ‘Green Initiative’, we would encourage everyone to bring along reusable drinks containers this weekend.
On Sunday, thanks to Salutec, we can offer free filtered drinking water. Salutec - healthy water and living, www.water-wise.ie, located in Gort supports the Mountshannon Arts festival on Sunday with free, tasty, healthy drinking water. Just bring your bottle to get a refill or grab a recyclable cup of water. Salutec provides a range of water treatment systems manufactured in Germany. The high quality charcoal cartridges are made from plants. No chemicals or additives are added to the water and electricity is not required.The idea of sustainability is very important to us.
With our system it is not necessary to buy bottled water. For more information please take a look at the water-wise homepage.

John Kelly
John Kelly, multi-award winning photographer from The Clare Champion, came
to Mountshannon and Whitegate last Tuesday, to take portraits of people from
our community.
The pictures will be displayed during the festival, which runs from 30 th May to
3 rd June.
Our theme this year is Roots and Wings, and the exhibition will reflect this, as
we look at how and why people came to the parish, and decided to make it
their home.
Some have flown into the parish, from as far away as the USA, to make this
their home. Others came from just across the lake, or from the West of the
county, and others have their roots here, in the place where they were born.
We would like this to be an ongoing project, with different participants every
year.
We are really excited to see the finished results, and to welcome as many
people as possible to the exhibition. edit.
