Comment by Anthony Avila on May 19, 2012 at 4:44pm: I was just walking out the door, on my way.....then it started.I just turned around and went home.

Comment by Seán on May 19, 2012 at 4:04pm: Great Event guys. Pity about the crazy rain putting a kibosh to it, but great professionalism by the Pantomime guy for never even flinching and continuing to go on through his act for at least 20 mins while people ran for cover. Fair dues to him and all who came out to support it.....
