Durrow. Co. Laois, normally the home the hundreds of scarecrows during the annual Scarecrow Festival each summer saw an opportunity to welcome our very own Saoirse Snowman this week during the sub Zero temperatures. Always ready to seize an opportunity, two local 'lassies' brought Saoirse to life on her very own green carpet in preparation for the Oscar Awards this weekend. Unfortunately her visit was short lived as she faded away into the sunset on Saturday, just in time for the Oscars. Picture from Margaret Conroy -
