The Gem City Feis was held on October 12th, 2013 at the Dayton Airport Expo Center in Vandalia, OH. This is my second year reviewing this feis although we have been here a few times.

Wanted to give a special shout-out to the ‘ribbon lady’, aka Made by Mare over at http://www.madebymare.com. She has a lot of unique ribbon gift ideas and is an absolute joy to deal with. I have purchased a few things from her and she even let me return an item. If you see her at a […]
And now, there is a sequel visit… read about it here. Up until now, I have not found any feis accommodations worth blogging about, I mean hotels are hotels right?

This is the point in the feis weekend where I tell you what I thought about the feis, the venue, judging, musicians, etc… you know the drill. This one however, is going to be different. If you follow me […]

The 11th Annual Great Lakes Feis was held on August 18th, 2013 at the Lansing Convention Center in Lansing, Michigan. This is the third, fourth, ah who knows, time I have done the Great Lakes Feis.
