The Thrill of Preparation For Victory

Another thing you should be busying your Irish self with with in this final 129 days until Irish Fest weekend: contest preparation.

As I told you here awhile back, new this year we're hosting contests in three areas: photography, knitting and baking. And look, man, you can't just wait until August to get started on this stuff. Do you know how long it takes to knit something like a sweater or a tea cozy? Me neither, but I bet it takes awhile. And you photographers. You'll need to shoot hundreds of pictures to get that perfect prize-winning shot. That takes what? Time. And while the scones you bake this morning might be a little stale in 4 months, you need that time to tweak your soda bread recipe and try it out on your test eaters. Hell, you people should have started this stuff last Christmas!

Get busy. Win not only great prizes, but world-wide acclaim. Enter the first annual Kansas City Irish Fest contests.
