Muskegon Feis Eats

If you head up to the Muskegon Feis I have to recommend an eclectic breakfast place we stumbled across called Toast N Jams. Retro styling in side, nice menu, great food and reasonably priced. One of those local gems you really oughta try.

Michigan (Muskegon) Feis Review

Michigan Feis was held on September 15, 2012 at Muskegon Catholic Central High School, Muskegon, MI. Venue – Although spread out a little, the Muskegon Catholic Central High School was a pretty good feis venue. Four stages spread throughout the school provided plenty of room for dancers and viewers.

Rock River Valley Feis Review

The Rock River Valley Feis was held on September 8th, 2012 at the Wellness and Sports Center, Harper College in Palatine, IL. Venue – I thought the Wellness and Sports Center was a nice venue.

The St Louis Gateway Feis was held on August 26th, 2012 at The Renaissance Hotel, St Louis,  MO. Venue – The Renaissance was really nice.

After hearing about the ‘one soft shoe, one hard shoe’ performance idea, the Feis Association Regarding Comical Entertainment (FARCE) has banned the idea. In addition to muffled clicks from only one hard shoe, bangs were not happening as often as expected, and when they did, they were scaring the older judges because of there unexpected occurrence. So much… Read more »

This just in, a new hair style for competition is about to hit the streets and WTF acquired this previously unreleased photo from one of our sources. If I were you, I would expect to see mis-matched wig and hair colors as early as this weekend. Sources also tell us… Read more »

Great Lakes Feis Review

The Great Lakes Feis was held on August 19th, 2012 at The Lansing Center, Lansing, MI. Venue – The venue was great and and all the stages were in the same huge room. The champs at one end of the venue and everyone else at the other. I made it sound bigger than it is, and it isn’t THAT… Read more »
