Kansas City Connection at Oireachtas

Over 4,000 Irish dancers from around the world are in Belfast this week to take part in the 36th Oireachtas Rince na Cruinne, or World Irish Dancing Championships. One of those competing is Hailey Beebe, the daughter of Kansas City Irish Fest board of directors member Mary Alice Beebe. Hailey dances with Kansas City's O'Riada Academy Of Irish Dance, one of 314 schools of dance from 11 different countries represented during the competition.

All of us at Irish Fest wish Hailey the very best of luck, and congratulations on reaching the highest levels of the art.

Ádh mór ort!
