Merchapalooza

Last night the crack team that takes care of our official Irish Fest merchandise met for a little wrap up party/victory dance, and a good time was had by all. Merch Chieftain Ron Einbender presided over the business portion of the meeting and as always there was lively discussion about what sold, what didn't and why we think that is. It's a mysterious business. For example last year for the first time we offered a knit cap with the Irish Fest logo embroidered on it. It sold out almost immediately. So this year, we offer a knit cap, same art, gray cap instead of black and sales were just okay. Hmm. Is it gray vs. black? Too warm to be thinking about knit caps this year? We'd love to know so that we can serve you better.

So I want to ask you: did you buy an Irish Fest t-shirt, cap, hoodie or other item? If so, what did you buy and why? What didn't you buy and why not? What would you like to see offered next year? What should we retire, change, rethink? Let's hear it. Click that comments button.

I really think the brown band shirt with Gaelic phrase might turn out to be MY FAVORITE TSHIRT EVER.

I'm seriously regretting that I did not buy TWO in case something happens to it.

I also bought the brown tee, and one for my son. I really like that it lists all the bands that played. Last year I bought the same type shirt. And will buy one next year too.

Love the Irish language t-shirts as well as the long sleeve tees.

Clothing prices need to be lowered.
