The Bogfest 2010 which was held in aid of Breast Cancer Ireland has raised a total of €6,600. The natural setting in Tinnemuck was ideal with a very enjoyable day for everyone who attended. Preparations are underway for Bogfest 2011, hopefully with an even bigger turnout. Approximately 500 people turned up this year and the target is to double that for 2011.
