I see the Stylish Silage competition returns to Drumshanbo this week, as part of the Co Leitrim town’s An Tóstal event, which runs from 1 July to 7 July.

Over the last few weeks extravagant silage bales have been appearing around the town. I am reliably informed that a team of expert judges will judge the bales to see who has the best silage bale. After this they will face a public vote, with the winners announced at the Stylish Silage wrap party on Saturday, 7 July.
