“’I was truly impressed with the quality and unique craftsmanship of the Louth exhibitions at this year’s showcase. We were well represented this year with ten Louth exhibitions from all corners of the county. Almost 500 exhibitors unveiled their latest collections with products ranging from jewellery, linen, ceramics, homewares and fashion.
