This page will be updated more frequently--I found a source of round tuits selling for a gross, so I can get round tuit more often....
Southern Ohio Storytelling Arts & Music Festival
September 11 and 12, 2009. Storytelling festival in Chillicothe, Ohio. I was there this year as a local teller and performed ghost stories in the historic (and haunted) Majestic Theatre. Check it out at www.southernohiostoryfest.com
Michigan Irish Music Festival
We have taken the Wake Tent to Muskegan the past few Septembers and had a terrific time! The festival is right on the lake, the sound people apparently still have their low-range hearing (I hate it when they crank the bass!) and the people couldn't have been nicer. This year, the weather was beautiful and the crowds came out! Check it out here: Michigan Irish Music Festival
Dublin Irish Festival Update
I received my pin for five years of volunteering with the Festival Cultural Committee in 2006. This summer was the ninth year we have hosted the Wake Tent and the tenth year I have appeared as a storyteller. If you missed the 22th anniversary festival, you missed a grand time. In 2007, we had the largest group of people EVER trying for the world's largest Irish jig--10,036 dancing! We look forward to another great time next year, August 6-8, 2010.
And now a reminder...
Seamus and the Wake booklet
Seamus is available on Amazon.com--just click on the image of the book!(That's Galway Bay, by the way; my husband took that shot back in 2003)
And I self-published a booklet on Irish Wakes entitled "Wake Me When It's Over". That one is available directly from me for $6, which includes shipping (special deal if you order both at once! E-mail me for details)
