Heritage Day event in Islandeady this weekend

If you're old enough to remember or indeed to have owned a box brownie, you may be very interested in visiting Jack's Old Cottage in Islandeady this Sunday, August 14, starting at 2 p.m.

Travel back in time as you see the old farmhouse just as it was long ago and hear the story of the various objects on view. In the yard outside try your hand at the skills needed long ago to survive in less affluent days of self sufficiency.Could you hack it?

Children can take part in the old fashioned games their grandparents played and you can see if you would be able to keep up with the pace, beat a rival or set a new Islandeady record!

You must also keep a sharp eye out for a newcomer to the scene this year, Scratchy the Scarecrow.

Refreshments will be provided and admission is free.
