Boo

Pat McGinnis, e-mail me your address, you've got yourself a cow sticker. Joining us at Irish Fest this year is the very scary star of Ghost Hunters International on the SciFi channel, Barry FitzGerald. His official bio:
Barry FitzGerald, a veteran ghost-hunter with 17 years of experience in paranormal investigating, is memorable to Ghost Hunters fans for his work on TAPS' investigations in Europe, during the show's third season. Now, as a member of the new GHI team, Barry supplies his expertise in both ghost-hunting as well as his knowledge of the historical locations of each new investigation.

Haunted by supernatural events he experienced as a child growing up in Ireland, Barry developed an interest in paranormal research and went on to work for two different paranormal groups based in Northern Ireland. He now dedicates much of his time to the development of new investigative techniques and research methods.

A lifetime resident of Ireland, Barry previously worked as the warden for the Southern Education and Library Board, where he arranged weekends away for youths and worked on conflict issues and cross-border projects, allowing communities from either side of the cultural divide in Northern Ireland to work together and develop friendships. He is also an avid writer and cook.
Barry will be regaling us with his ghostly adventures on both the Heritage and Children's stages all weekend long. Don't be scared...we hear he's very nice.

I don't watch these types of shows cuz I scare easy (not even Scooby Doo or Fox News) but I've mentioned to several people about this Ghost Hunter guy coming to the Fest and he seems to have quite the following! Another score for KCIF!

Thanks for the offer to mail a sticker to me...however, that is a valuable 42 cents and for a non-profit it could be the difference between make or break.
