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 5 and 6, 2008. A relatively new festival in Chillicothe, Ohio but well worth the trip! Check it out at www.southernohiostoryfest.com


Michigan Irish Music Festival

We have taken the Wake Tent to Muskegan the past two 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! Come see us at the wake tent again this year--September 12-14, 2008! 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 will be the eighth year we have hosted the Wake Tent and the ninth year I have appeared as a storyteller! If you missed the 20th anniversary festival, you missed a grand time. We had the largest group of people EVER trying for the world's largest Irish jig--over 10,000 dancing! We look forward to another great time this year, August 1, 2 and 3, 2008.


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 $5 plus shipping (special deal if you order both at once! E-mail me for details)

And just past...

August 1, 2 and 3, 2008 was the 21st Dublin Irish Festival, Coffman Park, Dublin Ohio. If you missed it, you missed a wonderful party! Join us again next year, July 31-August 2nd, 2009. For more information, see the website at www.dublinirishfestival.org
