Hello all-

It was an exciting and long weekend at Feile Samhain! Congratulations to all the dancers for a job well done. I received many compliments from the judges about many dancers and good feet and rhythm. The champion team look great and we are well under way to the Oireachtas. Congrats to the Tipperary team, they did a great 8 hand and are on the road to a good showing in AZ!!

I should have the medal and trophy counts for you soon.

Portland feis

Hello all
I wanted to congratulate all the dancers who participated in the recent Portland feis! You all did such a great job, I wish I had been there to see it! Luckily this was my last trip to Ireland until January. Here are some results for you. Our solo dancers won 50 first place medals, 31 seconds, 37 thirds, and 35 fourth places!! That is an amazing total for only 42 dancers. You also won 5 first place trophies, 3 seconds, 6 thirds, and 7 fourths. Very impressive. The prelims all danced well, and Emily Hurst came away with a 2nd place overall in her prelim! Well done.

I am excited to go to Feile Samhain with you all and have another successful weekend. I hope you all have your costumes ready, I'm still working on mine.
Talk to you soon.
