Kansas City Irish Fest News!
The Dryads - These are the happy, playful wood nymphs that dwell in the trees. Some say their favorites are willow trees, others say they prefer oaks.
Their job is to inspire. The Dryads have all gotten together to offer some wonderful prizes for the Costume Contest this year at Irish Fest. The theme is “OUT OF THE FORESTS OF IRELAND”. This may be something mythological, something or someone real or of nature, the possibilities are endless.
Costume Contest will be on Saturday and Sunday at 6:30 PM on the Children’s Stage. Good luck and I look forward to seeing you all!!!

Irish Thought for July 4...
Irish Symbols
Whorls
Representing the circular journey through birth, death, and spiritual rebirth, the convoluted spirals of Irish whorls suggest eternal life. Perhaps suggested by native seashells,t he whorls appear on the most famous of Ireland's artistic treasures and much modern Celtic-inspired jewelry.

Irish Folklore
The Dark Man
The Far Dorocha, also known as the Dark Man, is a powerful servant dedicated to the fairy queen. He might perform her menial domestic tasks, or, on the queen's orders, ride his black horse to our realm to capture a mortal who has taken her fancy. Although he is always silent, the Dark Man can make humans surrender their wills to his command, and they climb onto the back of his steed without protest. His fairy horse exhales fie from its nostrils as it races through the night, setting alight hedgerows as it gallops. A mortal's journey to the land of the fairies is almost always a one-way trip.
