The residents put in the effort to show the community spirit in Cranmore coupled with a vision and plans for the future. Also present was Cathaoirleach of Sligo County Council who commented:

The work planned and delivered by a core of committed people in our communities has been an inspiration to other groups and the wider public, and we can see before our eyes the Pride of Place prompting many other excellent local initiatives throughout the county.
