So here on Day 71, as Irish Fest is foremost on all our minds, I want some opinions. We're getting in to crunch time here and the decisions and changes will be coming fast and furious. We do this for you. So I want to know:
"If I could change one thing about the Kansas City Irish Fest it would be..."
You fill in the rest. Comments, please.

Anything?... I'd like it to be not so hot outside.
You asked.
I'd like very much to see local and regional original artists as vendors. Maybe under one tent, in 10' by 10' spaces. The smaller spaces should be more affordable for these folks, since the prices paid by the commercial vendors are usually beyond their reach. Juried, maybe? I know that when I attend festivals away from home, the primary thing I want to purchase is something from a local artist as a memento of the occasion.
Regarding what Martha suggested above, it seems to me the shady climes of Washington Park would make a nice home for artists to display such wares.
would also love to see local artists/vendors....perhaps selling items that are not necessarily irish/celtic, but that showcase KC and all of its amazing artistic talent. we still love sheehan's and browne's, however- it's IRISH fest, after all!
Come on guys start thinking a little bigger than that!
The return of the Saw Doctors, Van Morrison......why not...U2!!!
The Chieftains!
In order to get the likes of Saw Doctors or any other group from Ireland the American Dollar needs to regain its strength. The US status in the world has been destroyed over the last 8 years of the Busch administration. Thank your lucky stars that there will even be an Irish Fest. W has managed to destroy everything else that is good an decent, I'm surprised he has not out lawed KCIF as being a threat to our homeland security. You know the Irish dancers are communicating messages to Iraq with the transmitters in their curls. If you play Bob Reeder's music backwards... well it starts to sound better, but that is another subject.
The "Busch" administration? Those guys over in St. Louis making the crappy beer?
Free hotel rooms for commitee chairs. Seriously.
Better shade or coverage for the pub stage. Last year, we all baked in the sun.
Pizza provided at committee meetings- goes great with the fresh Boulevard. Plus, at that time of day we're all suffering from low blood sugar- which may explain why we’ve come up with some these asinine ideas: “Gaelic Yard Darts” anyone? “Tip the Loo”? ”Board Member Wedgie Slingshot”?
I would like Guiness please. :-)
