At Irish Fest this past weekend we bestowed annual honors on some very deserving folks.
The PJ Cullinan Volunteer Of The Year Award went to Tommy Wyrsch. Want to know what kind of volunteer Tommy is? He has an entire gate named after him. The fest entrance off the gold level parking garage is known far and wide as The Tommy Gate, with a big banner declaring it so. Tommy has been with us since the beginning and is with us from start to finish every year, working tirelessly and cheerfully making sure that everybody who comes to us through The Tommy Gate starts their festival experience on a good note. Hearty congrats to Tommy on a well deserved honor.
The 2011 Mr. and Mrs. Irish Fest Award went to Pete and Cece McCluskey. Two more long time volunteers, Pete and Cece are also St. Patrick's Day Parade planners and involved in every Irish event in town except pouring your bowl of Lucky Charms this morning. Their hard work, good humor and dedication to their Irish heritage made them easy and unanimous choices for the title. Congratulations to both.

I believe there was another award?? Some random former KCIF Board member, what was his name again??
Correct...former Fest President Rory O'Connor was given the traditional farewell bodhran in recognition of his years of service.
Yes, and there was another one as well..
