KENMARE

Kenmare also won an award in the Tidiest Town competition. Forget the year, but I'm sure it was more recent than Sneem. There are three categories for Tidy Town competition: Village, Small Town, Large Town. Then one of those three winners is chosen as the National Tidiest Town. So there are three winners, and one of them is the major winner. We didn't know that at the time, but then we only saw three or four towns or villages that advertised that they had won something in a certain year. Kenmare and Sneem were very pleasant and picturesque. The colors in both towns were eye-popping. I'm not sure the pictures convey it. I wouldn't mind living near or in either one of them, though Kenmare was awfully busy.
