Local village to represent Ireland in European competition

Ballinahown will represent Ireland in the prestigious Entente Florale later this summer. Entente Florale is a European competition which aims to promote the sustainable development of European towns, villages and cities to enhance the quality of life of citizens.

It’s a great honour for the local village to be chosen to represent Ireland in this competition and it’s an exciting time for the local community with lots of work planned to prepare for the event. A public meeting will take place in the Community Hall this evening (Monday) at 7.30pm where attendees can learn more about the event. It is also an opportunity to get involved in preparing for the event.

Entente Florale mentors will be in attendance to answer all your questions, along with local councillors and representatives from Westmeath County Council who are supporting the competition. Refreshments will be served on the night.
