KC Irish Fest 2023 at Crown Center:
Your club plans all year for this event. We set up our tent early Friday and volunteers man the tent all weekend. It is great fun and we have the very best tent location. Volunteers pick a time slot to help sell donated items or turn things to entertain the crowds. Members that sign up in advance get in free. You can bring your own items to sell and the club takes a cut of the profits. The food is delicious. The beer and whisky is wonderful. The music is amazing. There will be signup sheet available prior to the Irish Fest event.
