The Gathering - Baltinglass

Phyllis Flanagan with one of her crocheted shamrocks Crocheted shamrock for the Baltinglass Gathering

During 2013 Baltinglass & District Forum is putting its weight behind the various events being planned in the area for The Gathering. Forum Work Groups are organising two of them — the St. Patrick's Day Parade and the Balto Balloon Fest (21-23 June).

Baltinglass stalwart Phyllis Flanagan has come up with a novel fundraiser / emblem for the Baltinglass Gathering. She has crocheted a hundred shamrocks which are mounted on cards mentioning The Gathering and the Baltinglass website, www.baltinglass.ie, and they may be sent to friends or relatives abroad as a symbol of welcome.

The shamrocks may be purchased for €3 each at Egan Office Supplies or Gorrys' Pharmacy. All proceeds go towards the Forum's events funds.
