Project Overview

As people, places and artifacts from the past come alive through projected images, Paddy plays a few tunes on button accordion and offers tales of his adventures growing up in a thatched house in rural Ireland. Erin spins the story of her latest novel inspired by a true discovery: a 9th century book of psalms preserved in an Irish bog.

Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

It is hoped that this program will bring an opportunity to learn about Irish culture and music as well as writing. Both presenters are authors and musicians so it will provide a unique experience for the Tracy community and surrounding area to enjoy a book talk along with authentic Irish music. Participant surveys and anecdotal responses will be collected.

Measurable Outcome(s)

#VALUE!
