As the summer crowds begin to thin, there’s growing momentum behind a call to keep Kilkee active and vibrant during the off-season months. Local businesses are stepping up with creative ideas to make that happen — one of which is The Flying Alpaca, an interactive alpaca farm nestled just outside the town. Co-run by Barbara Veterano, the farm offers visitors a hands-on experience with these gentle animals, and it’s proving to be a hit with families, tourists, and locals alike. To talk about how Kilkee can embrace year-round tourism, and why alpacas might just be part of the answer, Sally-Ann Barrett was joined by Barbara Veterano, Co-Owner of The Flying Alpacas.
