	Description:		Willie Magowan, an artist from Garvagh whose work has been exhibited at the Smithsonian Institute in America, explains the historic art of banner painting. He shows Anne Marie McAleese into the workshop at the back of his house where he creates the banners. And in Sion Mills, the Buildings Preservation Trust has reopened the newly-refurbished Stables Museum. It's an historic building that outlines the life and times of this industrial village which started with the establishment of Herdman's Mill in 1835. Molly McNutt from Strabane, the new tourism co-ordinator, and Celia Ferguson, one of the Herdman family, gave Brian Kernohan a guided tour. Presented by Anne Marie McAleese.
