A civic reception to honour Longford's recent sporting and cultural champions will be held this evening.
The event is to celebrate the achievements of the Longford Slashers Ladies Football team and two award-winning Granard based designers.
Longford Slashers Ladies took home the All-Ireland Intermediate title in December last year, the first for a Longford based ladies club.
The reception will also celebrate the international success of Solomon Eduard and Joshua Osabuehien, who were crowned World Designer of the Year at the first ever Junk Kouture World Final in Abu Dhabi in January.
The students of Cnoc Mhuire Granard won the international title with their design 'Back to the Future', made from old shower mats, an old laundry basket, an aerial, car wipers and tubing from an old tractor tyre.
The event takes place at 7pm this evening in the Longford County Council building.
