Western Alzheimers had a fantastic day at the recent Roscommon Town Easter Parade on Sunday April 8th.  Many thanks to all of the volunteers who helped put the float together, to those who helped with sourcing wardrobe and props and to Paul Byron Shoes and John F. Hanley Fencing & Farm Equipment for the use of space and vehicles.  Many thanks also to everyone who donned customes, wigs and make up to bring the “Fr Ted” themed float to life – we had a great day as you can see from our selection of photos.

Ah go on, go on, go on, go on, go on.......ya will hold a Tea Day for Western Alzheimers! Mrs Doyle (aka Mairead Nally) and Fr Ted (aka Con Connolly) on the Western Alzheimers Easter Parade Float in Roscommon Town on Easter Sunday.

Many thanks to John F. Hanley, Fencing & Farm Equipment providing transportation & trailer for the Western Alzheimers float in this years Roscommon Easter Parade.

Leading the way.....Western Alzheimers in the Roscommon Easter Parade.

"What do you mean you won't have a hang sangwich! Ya will, ya will, ya will, ya will, ya will!!!" Mrs Doyle displays her culinary skills on the Western Alzheimers float in the Roscommon Easter Parade.

"Cup a tea Father?"......Western Alzheimers Float at the Roscommon Easter Parade this year!

"What do you mean Fr. Jack's fallen off???"......Putting the final touches in place on the Western Alzheimers Float at this year's Roscommon Easter Parade.

"One slice or two....ah ya will" - Mrs. Doyle adds to the sandwich stock pile on this year's Western Alzheimers Float in the Roscommon Easter Parade.

"Drrrriiink!!!".......Jack and Ted debate the merits of adding a little something extra to those tea cups to ward off a chilly breeze on the Western Alzheimers Float at the Roscommon Easter Parade this year.

"OK Dougal, one last time. These are small... but the ones out there are far away. Small... far away... ah forget it!" Ted tries to put Dougal through his paces before setting off on the Western Alzheimers Float in this year's Roscommon Easter Parade.

"Father Dougal: I'm no good at judging the size of crowds, but i'd say theres around seventeen million of them out there" Dougal may be overestimating the size of the crowd at the Roscommon Easter Parade just a bit as Jack, Mrs. Doyle & Ted share a joke with the sisters on the Western Alzheimers float in advance of the Roscommon Easter Parade on Easter Sunday last.

Again, well done to everyone and thank you all for your fantastic support!!
