Happy Halloween!
Mr. Jack O’Lantern is visiting Glenmore for a few days thanks to the Glenmore Tidy Towns & Glenmore History.
For an interesting history of jack-o-lanterns see , The History Guy, “Best of Halloween.” Chapter 1 is the history of the jack-o-lantern and chapter 2 is the mysterious death of Harry Houdini.
For a classic local tale see our post of 27 October 2020 with a link to an RTE recording from 1974 of Kitty the Hare telling the story of the headless coach.
