Heritage week meets Poetry in a Mid Summer competition to celebrate the creation of a new Pollinator Flower Bed by four different groups in Strokestown.
To celebrate the creation of the Pollinator Flower Bed in the Grotto in Strokestown, we have launched a new poetry competition to tie in with Heritage week, the theme of which is ‘Sharing Stories’. The flower bed was the creation of four local groups: Strokestown Tidy Towns, STAAR Brothers of Charity, Men’s Shed and Town Team. So, write a poem and help us share this story.
To enter, please drop your poem into the Community Development Office, Bawn Street 10 – 1.
There is a 1st Prize of €50.00, and the poem will be displayed in the Grotto for the duration of Heritage week.
