Herkimer College to Host Irish Storyteller Dierdre McCarthy

Herkimer College will host Irish storyteller Dierdre McCarthy on Thursday, March 3 at 12:30 p.m. in the Robert McLaughlin College Center, room 288.

An Imaginary Trip to Ireland is the next best thing to an actual trip to the Emerald Isle. By providing Irish storytelling mixed with traditional Irish music, Irish step-dancing and other delightful elements of her homeland, Deirdre McCarthy will delight her audience with the fun, beauty, charm and imagery of Ireland.

Born and raised in Limerick City, Ireland, Deirdre McCarthy now resides in Central Square, NY with her husband, Jim, and two sons, Cian & Shane.

McCarthy has been sharing her love of her homeland in schools, libraries and festivals all across New York State since 1995. She has performed for the Irish-American Cultural Institute and, as a member of AmeriCorps, presented a year-long series of Irish Culture presentations in schools throughout Oswego County in 2002.

The program is free of charge and open to the public. For more information contact Herkimer College’s Center for Student Leadership & Involvement at 315-574-4032.
