FEIS ANNOUNCEMENTS

 

THANK YOU FOR ANOTHER AWESOME GREAT LAKES FEIS!!!

Thank you for all the very nice compliments we got all through the day, and since the day of the Feis.  We strive to make this a pleasant fun feis for all, and based on our feedback, it sounds like everyone had a wonderful time.

 

We would like to give special thanks to all the volunteers who helped make this a nice feis.

We would also like to give thanks to the Ardan Academy of Irish Dance for all their assistance – Thank you John and Liz Heinzman!

 

Results are now available.  We are processing the individual results as fast as possible.  If you did not get your individual results, send us an e-mail with your dancer number and your name, and we will e-mail them to you as soon as possible. 

 

Have a great feis year – and we hope to see you in 2010!
