Participants will have the opportunity to discover interesting facts about Celtic history, enjoy costumed storytellers sharing traditional tales from the Celtic world, create unique crafts, and appreciate the music of Debra Peterson, a performer with more than 20 years experience, including performances at the Georgia Renaissance Festival.
