In The Money

At this rate you're going to make money coming to Irish Fest.

The Children's Area has this bit of news for you:

"The KCIF Children's Area has to follow the lead of the Fest Ticket Costs and the Snug Sisters. We really should raise our prices as our costs are going up; we just want all of our special guests to come and have a great time this year, everyone needs the fun and the parents need us to hold costs down this year.

Children's Fest Entrance - 0.00 - includes all Children's Stage Performances and the Kid's Parade on Saturday and Sunday

All Day Bouncy Bracelet - 10.00 ( includes admittance into the Children's Main Tent and all the inflatables and moonwalks)

Children's Main Tent (Crafts and Games) - 3.00 (all day pass)

Face Painting - 5.00 (two fabulous locations)

Jumpy tickets may be bought for 1.00 each as well.

–From The KCIF Kid's Club: MacKenzie, Joseph, Cassie, Mikayla, Jake, Q, Kate, Maura, Erin, Michael, Maddie, and Sammy."

And we're announcing today further cost-cutting efforts. Effective immediately Secret Service protection for former Irish Fest presidents will be curtailed, and those multimillion dollar bonuses paid annually to Irish Fest staffers will be taxed at a rate of 125%. It's the least we can do.
