Sweet Memories, Children's Event a Great Success

Darren Moynihan giving his Pesentation to the Children

The museum was packed to the gills on Saturday for the children's event which took place between the hours of 12 and 1pm.  The event was as ever organised by Helen and DarrenMoynihan

Darren gave a powerpoint presentation on the history of sugar and sweets through the ages and covered Irish sweet factories and local sweet shops.
Helen dressed in the style of local sweet lady Nano Manahan recreated her famous sugar stick to the delight of all the children and adults alike.

A big thank you to Helen, Darren, Emma and Ashling for a very successful event and to the staff members and committee members who helped out.
The museum would also like to thank the Dungarvan Sweet Shop for providing sweets and for the event.

The museum remained open for the afternoon and on Sunday afternoon in conjunction with the festival of food.  On both days the crowds kept on coming and the museum volunteers were kept very busy.  More pictures of the event can be viewed on facebook
