Celtic Music Festivals

We are going to Chicago this weekend. Originally it was for the Smucker's on Ice show, however there is also a Celtic Music Festivals in Chicago this weekend. I know the girls will love this opportunity to listen to traditional music from our homeland. What a great day this will be - Music and Ice Skating!
Our group has now grown larger. The more the merrier.

Below is the information for the Chicago site.
