Attendees will also be afforded the chance to participate in the ‘Dance’ a recreation of the dance Hogan attended the night before he was captured. The scene will feature set dancing and traditional music facilitated by Pat O’Dea and tea and cake will be served by the local crochet club ladies. ...
