Irish Shillelagh Fighting Demo, Songs & Tales In-Person

Celebrate St Patrick's Day at the Library, your local connection for culture and entertainment!  Master Martial Arts instructors John Borter and Trish Chiovari will demonstrate the Irish Martial Art of "Bataireacht", Shillelagh Fighting to folks here!  John and Trish will show you the moves and tell you why this art was such an integral part of life in Ireland long ago.  They'll even get some of you into the act.  The rich history, and story of the blackthorn, the trees shillelaghs are traditionally made from, will be told also by Christopher Shaw, who will sing a few Irish songs, and bend your ear with a story or two!  Come on a magical trip to the Emerald Isle with these three!  Slainte
