Lunch & Learn - KILTS AND KILTMAKING: A PEEK INSIDE THE TRADITION AND THE CRAFT

Anyone who has ever been to the Great American Irish Festival knows that the Kilt is not just for the mighty Scots! Indeed, people of all stripes, or should we say tartans, wear them.

At this month's Lunch & Learn you will learn some surprising facts on how kilts are made from Dr. Barbara Tewksbury a retired Professor of Geosciences at Hamilton College, a piper, and the author of The Art of Kiltmaking, a book designed to teach people how to make traditional kilts. She is a well-known kiltmaker and has made kilts for people all over the world.

A $20 registration fee will cover the program and lunch (tax and gratuity are included). All those interested in attending are asked to register at the link below or leave a message at (315) 733-4228, Ext 6. The H.A.R.P.
