The Scurlogstown Olympiad Group celebrate the life and culture of rural Ireland each year at the annual "Haymaking Festival" in the Porchfields in Trim. But it is much more than just that and has grown over the years to include just about everything in the way of entertainment and diversion. There are all sorts of competitions and side shows from a roll in the hay to the sheaf tossing where the world record is currently at 62 feet and held by Michael Ó Brien from County Clare. Trim Drama Group will produce a pageant and there will be music on the day by Mary Ó Connor and the great Matt Leavy and that's just some of what's going on. The festival takes place this Sunday and the entrance fee is €10 with children under twelve free. Oh and I'd better not forget poetry readings at the Bardic House by The Meath Writers' Circle and anyone who cares to drop in. We'll be miked up this time!
