Parents & Dancers PLEASE Read
At the McMenamin Academy Feis in Milwaukee this weekend, I witnessed a rather disturbing event that I thought would never happen at a feis. I suggest all parents and dancers read this, and share with anyone you think needs to read it…. I suggest all parents, with or without dancers. ***** NOTE: Please see the comments… Read more »
Dancer Nicknames
I have a feis-free weekend so I decided to write that blog post I have had on the back-burner.

So this morning after church, we went to a local Mom and Pop place for breakfast. As we sat waiting for our food, I recognized one of the gentlemen at the front door of the restaurant. That is a feis dad, I thought to myself. The GC thought she recognized him too. We are at… Read more »
