Irish Thought for August 22...

Kansas City Irish Fest News

Irish Stout continues his adventures and goes to find the new poor Nameless Cow.   He tells the Cow to join him so that she will learn all of the Secrets to the Children’s Area.



They take off and find  Colleen, Maeve, Erin, Kelsey, Maureen, Molly and Brendan.  Wow, why so many?   These kids are the Kid’s Club Members who perform Irish Dancing.   And yes, they will be performing this year on the Children’s stage and on others including at the Feis.



Irish Stout says, “What would you tell the kids about this year?”   They group all starts talking at once as they all have the same thought.   The

Craft area this year is what they are excited about.    We have gone green they all are saying.   We have collected thousands of TP Rolls to make trees.   We are celebrating  Irish Forests and celebrating that the Forests are being worked on to add to their current glory.   Maureen wants to make a couple of additions here,  “And we have both Yvonne Healy who will be telling Ghost Stories on the last show on Saturday night, and Barry Fitzgerald who has some haunting information on the forests of Ireland coming on Sunday afternoon.”



Kelsey interjects here, “ Yvonne Healy is going to tell great stories each day in our area,  just not scary ones until Saturday.”   Colleen says,” Miss Yvonne is one of the most fun entertainers we have had in the Children’s Area.”



Megan and Michael run in at that moment and say,  “Don’t forget Barry Fitzgerald, every year he always delights and entrances.”



About this time, Colleen, Maeve, Erin, Kelsey, Maureen, Molly and Brendan start smiling and tapping their toes.




Irish Stout walks away with the cow saying to the group of young people, “Look at you all there, happy out leaping about the place.  Good luck at the Feis!  We will be there watching.”
