Killarney lights up sky

Fireworks lit up the sky.

By DANE LILLINGSTONE

THE Killarney Bonfire Night has lit up the sky once more with an amazing display of pyrotechnics, fire drums and of course the bonfire.
Numbers skyrocketed from last year’s attendance while the event also served as a fund-raiser for Killarney Memorial Age Care.
The unique fire drum competition invites competitors to create art pieces out of 44 gallon drums that they cut up, weld and transform however they please.
Bill Shelton won the 44 Gallon Drum competition with his Monsters in a Barrel piece and Ian Rowling won the Popularity Prize for his Titanic piece.
Bruce Halter provided the live entertainment, while the fireworks were sponsored by the Southern Downs Regional Council and done by local Brian Weeks but of course the main event was the giant bonfire.
Organisers of the event have asked everyone who came to the event to thank the Southern Downs Regional Council for their support.
