From Ireland back to Irish Friends

No sooner have I stepped off the big airplane with the shamrock on the tail, than I find myself back in the midwest with more Irish friends than when I left KC for a vacation at home in Ireland. There is now a greatly increased number of Friends of the Fest. Along with our main sponsors, the Friends of the Fest are part of our community, our greater Irish family, and make the festival possible. A large number of these Friends are donating wonderful prizes to the larger-than-ever festival raffle, so read the list, lick your lips - or somebody else's - and seek out the raffle tickets as soon as you arrive on the festival grounds.
