Prince August Toy Solder Factory ran
a Family Fun Day on Sunday Nov.1st 2009.
This included free casting and painting workshops. The
day was a great success with the factory being packed
from 12 to 5p.m.
We have added the photos of the day into Flicker for
all to see how much fun was had.
Our Roman Re-enactors also demonstrated
a Roman Blessing on the legionaries.
Prince August Toy Soldier Factory is situated
between Killarney town and Cork City on the N22 main road in South
West Ireland, only a short distance from Macroom Town. The Factory
produces hundreds of different black vulcanised rubber moulds
that allow you, the customer, to cast your own model soldiers,
chess sets and other figures and animals in metal as many times
as you wish.
