Held at Harriet Island in St. Paul, MN each August, the Irish Fair is a celebration of
everything Irish including food, music, dancing, and Native Dogs of Ireland. The
festival has a special tent for the dogs where people can come and meet the different
breeds. Midway through the day there is a parade of the dogs through the fair and
an educational talk in the children's booth. We try to go to this each year with the
Irish Wolfhounds, so we can teach others about this magnificent breed. The dogs
love it, too. Pascal loves to meet babies (and chew on their pigtails) and Kamille
loves to lick everyone's faces!
2010 was our first year without Pascal which was so sad, because he loved to go so
much! But also our first year with Jeressa and Naraya who loved meeting
everyone! For information, visit:
