Longford folk are invited to contribute to the ‘Boxty Story’

Granard will welcome Carol Smyth (Martin) to the local library for National Heritage Week on Thursday, August 22 at 6.30pm.  

This is a free event and everyone is welcome. Come along to one or indeed all of these information gathering events where Project Leader Carol Smyth will record your “Boxty Story” from the way it was made to the variety of ingredients used.

Boxty making is a skill that will die out if we don’t record this sort of detail and that’s why your help is needed to add to the “Boxty Story”.  Tell your siblings, your neighbours and everyone.  Even if you’ve never heard of boxty you’re sure to learn something so come along. The same event will be replicated in locations at different times so come along to whatever suits you.  No booking required.  

All queries to Carol Smyth 087 9644142 or boxtyireland@outlook.com
