Preparing for Millstreet Gathering Festival 2013
Wonderfully enthusiastic preparations at Millstreet Museum today as we prepare for our three-day temporary opening (4th-7th July from 10 until 2). Veronica O’Callaghan brought the official buntings while Patrick Buicke, Declan Cotter, Mary Kelleher and Mary Cronin as well as FÁS Supervisor, Denis Hickey had to decide as to whether the portrait of Michael Collins or Éamon de Valera would be placed on top! We are most grateful to the splendid gentlemen from FÁS who have been so very helpful to us in reaching high to put our various pictures in place and for sharing their strength in moving heavy historic objects. We especially thank Patrick Buicke for positioning the heavy original 1840 Cross into a perfect location. (S.R.)
