We Interrupt This Program

I'm going to get a little ahead of myself here and tell you about an event that the Kansas City Irish Fest is co-sponsoring in a few weeks. On October 10th, Dublin-born historian and author Lorcan Collins will give a talk at Mabee Theater at Rockhurst University on the subject of the Easter Rising of 1916. The lecture is free and open to the public, and will take place at 7:30 PM. Collins regularly leads walking tours in his native city based on the 1916 events and his book on the Rising will be available in limited quantities for purchase and signing.

Don't miss this chance to hear one of Ireland's greatest authorities discuss the events of 90 years ago that profoundly changed the course of Irish history. This event is co-sponsored by the Irish Museum and Cultural Center, the Kansas City Irish Fest, the UMKC Department of English, and Rockhurst University.

We now return to our regular program.

Irish Fest opens in 3 days, 1 hour, 47 minutes and 6 seconds.
