The Wexford Trails, which were developed and supported by Wexford Local Development, are exhibiting today at the Golden Shears (The World Sheep Shearing Festival) which is taking place in Gorey.

Rural dwellers from all over the world are visiting Gorey this weekend and it is the ideal opportunity to publicise the best of Wexford, under the Wexford Trails banner.

Another highlight of the Golden Shears is the Good Food Ireland Village which is serving the best of Irish produced food. Demonstrations by food producers are taking place all weekend. One of the local food participating businesses, which has received support from WLD under the LEADER programme is Wild About Food. Fiona Falconer from Wild About Food gave a lively and entertaining talk in the Good Food Ireland Village
