OUR MESSAGE

It's happening and there is a good chance this will sell out.  So, as BIll Engvall might say.... "Here's your sign."

If you have not solidified your plans for the weekend--do it now and get yourself to the Anne Arundel County Fairgrounds and the 4th Annual Annapolis Irish Fest!

This event has quickly established itself as a signature event for the Mid-Atlantic region and rightfully so!  This year, you can expect to see superstars of the Irish rock scene--Gaelic Storm and Carbon Leaf along with an incredible lineup of other artists!

Kids are welcome and free under 12. A little leprechaun land is sure to delight with moon bounces, balloons, crafts, entertainment and PONIES!!! (Saturday only)

For the grown-ups, there will be 14 bands, 3 stages, a giant tented viewing area, and plenty of local vendors offering food and merchandise!

Your VIP ticket will include unlimited beer, some food, and special viewing areas at the stages, special expedited entrance, and more!

Get your tickets now (click on the image to the right or the button to buy tickets) and save the hassle of waiting in line at the gate!  And as a bonus, I am hearing that the gates will open 30 minutes early on both days for online ticket holders!

I am not Irish, but you can be sure I will be on the 11th and 12th and I hope you can join me!

Slainte--

FUN FACT:  This is the 4th year of the Annapolis Irish Festival and each year they select some local charities to support. This year it is the Chesapeake Bay Trust, The Hospice of the Chesapeake, and Anne Arundel Medical Center.

The goal in 2010 was to donate $100,000 back to local non-profits in 5 years. With the incredible support of you and the local community, the organizers will be surpassing that goal by a lot, this year!

Just think of how much $100,000 can do to better our community!

See you at the festival!
