Contest Loser=You

When I was on vacation, guest blogger Shawn Sullivan Warner told you about a mystery guest coming to assist in all the spooky goings-on in the Irish Fest Kids Area this year. She gave you all kinds of hints and offered an Irish Fest cap to whoever guessed the identity of the mysterious stranger. And the winner is...

Me, you slackers. Nobody guessed, not even wrongly. I'm keeping the damn hat. Too bad for you, because it's a good one. This was the limited edition solid gold hat. Lined with thousand dollar bills. The Irish Fest logo in emeralds on the front. With a real working propeller on top so you can fly when you wear it without a plane or a jetpack or anything. It's awesome and I'm keeping it.

But because I'm probably the nicest guy on Earth, I'm giving you one more chance. No no, you get no cap. That ship has sailed, my friend. Tomorrow morning I'll be announcing the identity of Shawn's mysterious ghostly guest. You've got until I turn the computer on tomorrow to get your guess in. The winner gets one of our ultra-cool cow stickers. No hat.

So review the clues. Read the comment by Kids Club member Jake. Maybe watch a little TV. Take your shot. Irish Fest staff, as always, you can't win. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to lay down. This solid gold hat hurts my neck.

That wouldn't be an international ghost hunter, would it?

Don't ask me, man. I'm just sitting here looking at my solid gold hat, thinking about where to put my cow sticker.

Wonder if someone could look it up on Wikipedia or something like that?

Hey Uncle Windbag,

Who won the caption contest?

Break Time
Kids, Uncle Bloggy is tired and ready for a little vacation. So next week, while I'll relax in a secured bunker in an undisclosed location, a cadre of guest bloggers from the Kansas City Irish Fest family will take up the slack. I hope you'll treat them with the same affection and respect you show me. On second thought, maybe raise that bar a little bit. I am going to give you a little home work before I go. Another contest! This time, a caption contest for this photograph:What are Irish Fest founding board members Pat O'Neill and Ed Follis talking about? You tell me. The best caption wins an Irish Fest baseball cap sorta like the ones these fine gents are wearing. Entries should be e-mailed to me at danny@kcirishfest.com and are due by the end of the day on June 8th. I'll post all of them, winner and runners-up on the 9th. Good luck!
