Mayor Jim Dillon is pleased to announce that the Town of Clonmel Band from Ireland will be marching in the 2009 West Peoria Fourth of July Parade. Clonmel is a sister city to the city of Peoria.
The Clonmel Band will also hold a concert on July 3, 2009, at Peoria’s July Fourth Fireworks to be held at Glen Oak Park Pavilion.
A Peoria organization, Friends of Clonmel, is requesting the help of host families to provide housing for 100-150 Clonmel Band members and those accompanying them on the trip. Anyone interested in welcoming these visitors into your homes, please call West Peoria City Hall (674-1993) for more information.
