Craic
There was plenty of good craic going on last Sunday in the Cultural Tent at Irish Fest. It was the 30th anniversary of Irish Fest so I thought I'd help out for once. I volunteered four hours at the Shamrock Club's table signing up new members and selling Shamrock Club 50th Anniversary pins.
I knew the Shamrock Club started Irish Fest, but not being a member myself, learned much more about the club; had to if I wanted to sell memberships. The person joining me at the table, Addie, was really the best resource for all things Irish.
Some might consider Addie too chatty, but I consider her a wealth of knowledge. She's travelled to Ireland something like seven times, and many other points of the world. She is a member of Friendship Force which helps keep the expenses down; sharing homes with the local population, absorbing the culture... even if it means sometimes not speaking the same language.
There's much more I could say about Addie, Irish Fest and the Shamrock Club . . . but it'll have to wait. I just put together a video of my favorite Irish musicians I want you to see.
