Local Heritage Event

Our senior classes had a wonderful time in the Community Centre today.

Mr. Séamus Smith and Mr. Tommy Tuite presented a talk on The Ballinacree Banner, local mills and local farming practices. The talk was followed by a wonderful PowerPoint featuring lots of photos from years gone by. Mr. Tuite had a number of old farm tools which he showed us how to use: butter churn, a drag, a corn scythe; amongst other artefacts. The children also had a tour of the Heritage Room.

Mrs. Rita Briody and Mrs. Brigid Heery provided delicious home-bakes and juice for refreshments. Special thanks to everyone all involved!
